This past week has been a fun and festive week full of activities. We had daily themes for the children including: winter hat day, fancy dress up day, Christmas sock day, and red and green day! We also spent our indoor time keeping busy with Christmas crafts and activities that were done with all ages. Below are some of the activities that we did this past week (that we remembered to take pictures of).
Above are some photos of a craft that was done with our preschool age group where they decorated their own christmas trees! Below are the beautiful finished products.
Another activity that was done with our after school age group this week was baking gingerbread cookies! This was a great activity that helped us learn how to measure ingredients, follow a recipe, and roll out and bake cookies.
Below are some pictures of the gingerbread men and gingerbread snowmen that they made. They had a lot of fun making these, and even more fun trying the finished product!
Our little friend Jimmy also got stuck in a jar for a couple days this week, but our friends had lots of fun carrying him around The Spotted Toad and playing with him.
He also got into some mischief swinging around on our paper chains that we made!
This past week we also made Christmas cards and Christmas gifts that we wrapped together and sent home with both our preschool and school age children. We also had a Christmas diner for lunch this week, a Christmas dance party and other holiday crafts and activities with our friends here at The Spotted Toad.
