February

Wow! Can you believe it's already February. This year is flying by

For my February board the bumbles colored and sticker end our shape for the month can you guess what it is? Your right! It's a heart❤️

I was also excited to see the FunShine Express show their love for heats and books with this cute craft

We painted the heart that says I love stories and throughout the month we will add our favorite books.

Got Rain?

I'm not sure about you but we have had a bunch of rain this year. Though it is good for the planet it can be hard when you have a group of of 12 2 year olds. Here is some rainy day activities that could help.

Messy

Salt center

Bring out cookie trays, pour salt unto tray and I courage your littles to trace their finger in the salt.

Shaving cream

Spray shaving cream on the table and encourage you littles to make shapes or letters that are in their name

NOT SO MESSY

Rainbow hunt

If there is a break in the rain take you littles out for a rainbow hunt

Parachute play

Music and movement

Listening ears

I just loved the listening no ears craft that came in the curriculm. It helped me to now que my bumbles when I need them listen better. I just cup my hands behind my ear and they know.

And what a cute song

Snowball Roll

Until I received this curriculm i always thought for games like this more as fun things no so not so much physical development. Now that I have been doing it more see the kids starting our needing hel and now doing it on their own while I say the song is awesome to watch th or developmental mArkers being met.

Snowflake mobile

To make these amazing snowflake mobiles I used the material provided in my Buttercup curriculm. 

Construction paper

Crepe paper

Muffin liners

Ribbon 

We gave each child a dark blue piece of construction paper then encouraged the, to make a snow picture. We then put it together to make these amazing mobiles.

Bumble Centers

It's been amazing to see th growth and n my bumbles since September. They are now doing center on their own. They grab a cookie tray and a container.when they are done they switch.

January

Mittens and More

The bumbles love this months object. I introduced the object by first introducing the vocabulary card. The kids loved the little girl on the picture it sparked up conversation on her hat and gloves and why she would be wearing them.

I then introduced the gloves. We talked about how they are different and how to put them on, the song was extremely useful.

My Mittens Track 9 • Sung to “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”

I push my fingers in

And poke my thumb right through!

Then I do the same With mitten number two.

My warm, winter mittens Go on just like so.

Now I am ready to play in fluffy snow!

We made mitten to go on our bulletin board JESUS WARMS MY HEART

each child got a mitten pattern and paint. Once they were dry we glues snow glitter to the bottom for fur.

While we were painting the mittens we put the mitten song on repeat and sang it while we painted.
