What we have been up to
Our Holiday Tree
Here at Little Nest, the Holiday tradition that we celebrate is Christmas. We have our makeshift tree that we decorated. The items on our tree are just things that you may see during this Holiday season.
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.
November's Theme Week: Feeling Thankful! We spent the week talking about things we are thankful for. Small things like, food and just being able to enjoy the presence of our friends and family.
December's Theme Week: Happy Holidays! This week was focused on all things festive.
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.
Group Activities
Drawing and coloring together is a group activity that we like to do here at Little Nest. In this activity, 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.
