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.

 It felt good this week to not have to carefully layer the children with rainboots, hats, and jackets. It's getting easier to get out the door after our snack, though changes of clothes happen before lunch with the need to shed wet, sandy pants and soaked socks. 
This week we planted our Scarlet Runner beans, cucumbers, swiss chard, and potatoes. Watering the garden has become an exciting task that is greeted with much enthusiasm! We are still playing in the wooded play area, but alas, I have pulled up poison ivy over the last week, and so our hikes in the forest will have to come to an end until next fall.

 The children have enjoyed playing by the Easter egg tree inside. The eggs are actual blown eggs, but the children look very carefully and touch them so gently, there has only been one egg casualty when one just simply slid off the branch. Some sewn felt bunnies and felted eggs are under the tree, and the children right away created little stories to play together. We have started practicing our May pole songs together, and the children love to sing and skip around in a circle. They began working on their May crowns this week by painting coffee filters, what else? The children can paint til their heart's desire and they create a beautiful, slightly transparent paper that's stronger than tissue but more malleable than watercolor paper. A big win.
