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 had a week filled with Valentine activities. The children made felted heart pins for moms and dads, worked on their Valentine pouches, and at home, made their own Valentines to give to friends! It's a special moment when they get to earnestly open up their Valentine holders in anticipation of a friend's token of friendship! We have sung many Valentine songs together and heard the story of Missy Mouse and Bitty Bunny, who also think of just the right something to give to their good friend.

Outside, the children have discovered different areas of the woods that they enjoy. Some children love climbing the vines as high as they can manage. Some just simply to enjoy walking around in the vine obstacles, going over and under and through twisted vines. Some prefer gathering leaf and stone treasures, or tracking down the best stick. I try not to be over-educational about the outside but just let them take it at their own pace, making their own observations and finding what feels comfortable to them. How one relates to nature is personal, and so we simply dress warmly so we'll be comfortable, and the rest is up to them! 
Our guinea pigs came outside one day while it was so sunny, the first time in awhile. It may be the awhile before they do it again since Fran managed to escape under the neighbor's porch. She's back now, safe and sound, but expressed her dislike of being caught.
