Being Easter Bunnies

The children made bunny masks today and practiced their Easter bunny hop.  What wonderful (and cute!) bunnies we have at Susan's!!!

Easter Bunnies

As Easter quickly approaches, we have been doing many Easter themed crafts.  

Check out our paper-bag bunnies:

Lookin' for Leaves

While enjoying the outdoors, children found amazingly large leaves leftover from last fall.  They were huge!!  They also got to enjoy a "bird's eye view" from some of the beautiful trees that surround a nearby park.

Walk & Train Park

Now that the spring weather is here we are outside more and more.  We love the fresh air and enjoy being able to get out and visit the parks.  Susan's is close to the train park so we like walking there and spending time playing on the various apparatuses.  We always have quite the adventure!!

Lovin' the Library

Thursday mornings are often spent at the parkland library where the children get to participate in songs, stories and crafts. It's always a ton of fun!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a bunch of little leprechauns at Susan's on Friday who want to wish everyone a "Happy St. Patrick's Day"!!  Watch out for the leprechaun dust!! ;)

Spring is Here!!

Spring had definitely sprung around around here!!  The weather has been beautiful for outdoor play and the snow is melting quickly.  The children have quite enjoyed playing in the slushy backyard and have been making various "concoctions" and practising water transfer with the melting snow.

Frosty and Friends

We had a good snow fall last week that blanketed the lawn at Susan's.  With the recent warm weather, the snow has been melting in most places but those places that are a little shady in the afternoon (like Susan's front lawn) still have a good deal of snow.  Today, the children made use of this snow since it's good for snowballs because of the warm-up.  Therefore, they took to the lawn and rolled and rolled and rolled and made..... Frosty and his friends.  Great job boys and girl!!

Fine Motor Activities

At Susan's, children do many activities that work on increasing their fine motor skills.  Some of these activities include printing, colouring, beading and working with building materials.  The children LOVE making colourful creations (and then starting all over again)!!
