Today we had a pretty fun day. Our shape of the month is hearts. We made a heart shaped fish using 1 big heart and 2 smaller hearts for the fins. These turned out interesting...to say the least, but the older kids enjoyed glue, picking eyes out, and putting everything together. Some of the fish already have names.

My younger group each got a red heart and colored them. This is a huge task for them to a) sit still long enough to color and b) not to eat the crayons. Today we were successful in both areas.
Bubble day... Kids love to chase and play with bubbles. We took this activity outside and later watched and discussed the directions the bubbles would "turn" based on where I would stand.
We also had fun playing with textures. Today in the sand area I added moss, twigs, grass. We talked about the colors, sizes, and textures.
