January & February Month End Snapshots!

Once again our little Stompers have been busy.

Enjoy!



Making bird feeders  

 

 

Ready to go home! 

 

 

 

 

 

This is serious digging with real shovels! 

This is a small heating pad that we have set up as a place to warm hands...and gloves!

 

Ahhhhhh... nice and warm!

I watched in silence as this little one wandered off from the group. It was an privilege to give her the time she needed to explore her place in the nature. 

 

Holes in tree trunks always provoke many questions from their curious little minds.

 

A favourite book for winter story time - The Mitten by Jan Brett

The perfect slide! 

 

This is toilet paper, soap and warm water. It makes a wonderful slimy sensory activity.

 

We never tire of throwing fir cones into the creek off the bridge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A great way to start the morning...warm play dough!

 

 

 

Thanks for stomping by!

 

 



Snip, Snip, Snipping; Playing With Scissors

Ah, the allure of scissors. What preschooler can resist them? Using scissors successfully is a challenging skill to learn; one that requires lots of  practice. Young children need many varied opportunities to manipulate and experience how scissors work. In time, and through their scissor play, children develop the fine muscle control needed to cut efficiently. Over the past few months our little Stompers have been snip, snip, snipping! It is amazing to see the concentration on their faces, and how quickly their scissor skills evolve.
 

Sometimes a friend is very helpful.

At their own pace and in their own way children experience the rewards of success!

Thanks for 'Stomping' by, and happy snipping!
