Appleseeds Begins!

Thank you for visiting! This blog is to reflect on our weeks here together at Appleseeds Home Nursery. I am excited to see how the year unfolds with the changing of the seasons. I hope this blog gives the reader a better sense of what our day looks like and why I believe play is so crucial to child development.

We celebrated our Apple Festival last weekend. The children were eager to try the applesauce they've been working on during their mornings here. Once dinner was served, we were able to taste the apple cider as well. The children were able to play with their "shooting star" wands and just have an altogether lovely time with all our families. 
There has certainly been a resurgence in large scale building lately. The children love making large structures with the blocks and lumber, and even parking garages for the tricycles and ride-on cars. Also this week we finally took our first hike into the forest. It was a very exciting walk and the older kids were excited to see how their old viney caves had changed, but were still there. 

Inside, the storytelling continues. The kids love to gather around eachother to hear a story, or build a little set up of their own. The story I've told this week is about a mother who gives her daughter a riddle to solve and so she sings "There's a little round house you've seen before. It has a brown chimney this big and no more, it has neither windows nor a door, but a star inside!" It is of course, an apple. During our lunch this week we read the story of Mother Holle. I try to choose fairly non-violent fairy tales for this age group, but they certainly do love the fairy tales, particularly the older ones as fairy tales give them that fodder for imaginary play they thrive on.
