Mud + Kids = Happiness

The pizza poses little worry and that snowman awaits temperatures unheard of.

TODAY'S ACTIVITY
The squirrels constructed with clay today. They pushed, pinched, rolled, cut and scribed the clay into forms of their own designs. Many oare of questionable structural integrity, so we shall closely examine the outcomes after our firing next week.

BONUS GRASSY PLAYGROUND VISIT
As the fence building on the upper playground goes into high gear, we enjoyed an extra visit to the grassy and all the climbing, running, sliding, see-sawing, digging and scavenging that makes for an active morning and an easy naptime.

TODAY'S STORY
Corduroy, by Don Freeman. These hand-tinted scratchboard drawings bring back memories. Anyone attending school in the U.S. in the past four decades read this heartwarming tale. A little stuffed bear sits on a shelf, presumably beyond his expiration date, until a young girl adopts him into her home. Most fascinating to the children is the idea that toys wake up and go exploring the store at night.
