EGGS


EGG-citing stuff this week!
We centered our theme around the incredible egg, learning some new things and having lots of fun.

We played a game at group time that had us working our fine motor skills and cooperative skills as we passed a large paper egg from person to person using only clip-style clothespins. Our friends learned how to press their forefinger and thumb together to open the clip and then release it to close around the paper egg. It was pretty tricky, but we went around the circle several times until everyone was successful.




Our favorite art activity of the week was dying hard boiled eggs. We choose which color we wanted and were so very careful as we submerged our eggs and retrieved them a beautiful new hue.





















The sunshine coaxed us out for a delightful egg hunt on Wednesday and special guests - Real Bunnies! We got to touch them and feed them carrots. What a treat!



Happy Easter to all our friends and their families!
