February 16th-20th: Push, Pull, Go!

This Week's Theme is Push, Pull, Go, and there's a BIG change in the center!

We’ve emptied the sensory play table and added… LOTS OF CARS!!!! Also, ramps, and ping pong balls, guys this is going to be SO MUCH FUN! We’re so excited to see the kids’ faces when they discover our table filled with things that zoom and roll!!

***Please note, we’d like everyone’s help keeping kids safe this week – with balls and cars rolling around it could get a little crazy. Please help us return any items to the sensory play table. EXTREME CHOKING HAZARD WARNING: This week all our art projects involve marbles. (Ms. Christy is afraid of marbles + babies!) We will do our best to contain them carefully to the art tables, but please be on the lookout for any stray ones and help us keep them out of little ones’ reaches. Thank you!
