Check out some of the fun activities we did on the Older Pod Patio throughout the month of March.

Our friends in Rooms 1, 2, and 3 enjoyed Dinosaurs!

We marble painted!

We enjoyed garden snakes!

We worked together to build a long, colorful “snake” using counting cubes.

We used shaving cream and green watercolor for a sensory/pre-writing experience.

We painted rainbows!

In celebration of Chinese New Year, we’ve enjoyed a few thematic activities on The Older Pod Patio.

For a bit of S.T.E.A.M., we enjoyed red and gold playdough.

At our sensory table, we utilized rice, chopsticks and spoons to scoop, fill and pour.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21

We used tearing to strengthen our fine motor muscles and create hearts of gold.

Here’s a look at how our friends in Rooms 1, 2 and 3 are enjoying our Bear Picnic Party on The Older Pod Patio. We never underestimate the importance of stuffed animals. This classic toy— the teddy bear, is used to help act out/narrate scenarios, process emotions, bring comfort and open our imagination to worlds of fun.

This type of activity is essential for cognitive development and helps educators assess how children are processing their emotions and their growing knowledge of the world around them.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14

On The Patio, we are working with colorful connectors. This activity promotes attention maintenance, problem solving, and fine motor skills.

Our patio friends have been exploring natural materials— wood, pine cones, sticks, fine sand and stones. Check out how we build together, use our imagination, and have fun through storytelling and PLAY!
