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.

A Spring Celebration

This week was a busy week of crafting and baking. We dyed eggs, baked a special bread, filled eggshells with dirt and mud, and played in some newly created mud by our rainy Monday. We had guest "old school" visitors to join us this week, who brought fresh new ideas to our playtime. And with families visiting the beach as vacations are planned, one of the newest games has been to "drive a van to the beach". A playstand gets turned on it's side and children all pile in with their suitcases, snacks, and pets. There are stops to the gas station to refuel and get extra snacks. Then they get out at the beach and some children roll in the sand, some swim, and some prepare for the ride home. 

Using some of the Springtime crafts we've worked on over the past two weeks, we created little "Easter gardens". The children painted egg cartons and we put in the egg candles and felted eggs we made last week, and then added in the egg shells filled with dirt and moss and "planted" miniature mushrooms and flowers in them. The children also chose a little spring animal friend to place in their "garden". 
One of the children's favorite circle rhymes right now have been "Pitter patter raindrops" which is appropriate for this time of year. It's very easy and they love to do it faster and faster: "Pitter patter raindrops (on feet), falling on the tree tops (on head), falling on the garden beds (feet), falling on the children's heads!"
