What we have been up to
Spooky Tree October
With the month of October in effect, our "Spooky Tree" keeps getting fuller...but not with leaves.
Check out the pictures in our gallery to see the tree and the additions that were added.
Theme Week
Every month during the school year, we dedicate a week to a theme.
September's Theme Week: APPLES! We learned about all things apples.
October's Theme Week: S p o o k y Fun! The whole week was filled with Halloween related festivities.
Sensory Bags & Bins
Sensory bags and bins are a great way for kids to get messy, be creative, explore different colors, materials, texture, promote fine motor skills and more!
We are always exploring different bags to create with the kids. We also have different themed sensory bins for each month to play with. Check out our bin for the month of September in the pictures below. We are already in the process of procuring items for our October bin.
Group Activities
Drawing and coloring together is a group activity that we like to do here at Little Nest. The kids help with creating a picture - in this picture, we created a town. They gave all of the suggestions and then afterwards, worked together to color it in.
This help to build social skills with other children, learn the concept of taking turns (using a particular marker/crayon/color pencil, etc.), and so much more! The creative freedom for the children is super fun to see in action.
Creating Art
Painting is just one of the many ways that the kids create art at Little Nest. They are introduce to different tools to use, given different concepts to explore, and encourage to create however they feel like.
