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.

April begins

Our playground recently received a facelift over the spring break. The sandbox was enlarged to make room for so many busy workers. I added some greenery and silk flowers along with some animals to create stories and scenes or decorate "cakes", or whatever the children came up with!
Where our old sandbox was is now a new garden incorporating our apple trees. We'll have a pair of neighboring bean teepees, goumi berry bushes, cone flowers, chives, batchelors buttons and tall artichokes and cardoons. Or so I hope. 

Play both inside and out has been expanding and evolving. A racecar pretend game initially was tricky to start the other because some children couldn't agree on whether there could be more than one driver. In time they agreed that a mechanic or engineer was just as crucial to the game as a driver, and they rode along with their "driver" enjoying the task of checking the tires and engine. A restaurant was opened near our "race track" and the driver and mechanic enjoyed taking a break in their racing day to have some lunch. Later, some mamas decided to come for a ride in the racecars along with their babies. I love watching how children's play can expand and grow if just given the uninterrupted time to unfold. 

We celebrated Spring's Birthday before our break, making a little spring "garden" with the wool caterpillar, egg, and butterfly that the children made. But the real treat was the Italian Easter Bread that we all love so much. The children dyed their eggs in red cabbage juice and then placed them in a little "nest" made of an especially rich dough. Delicious!
