👻Spooky Silhouette Painting👻
Throw back to a couple of weeks ago before Halloween doing some ghostly art!
Participants laid down an outline of a ghost and used cotton balls to dot paint around the edges so when the outline is pulled away we are left with a spooky silhouette of a ghost!
Painting is a great regulating activity and allows our participants to express themselves creatively and work on skills such as fine motor!

🧊Ice Smashing🧊
As the weather heats up we are finding fun, creative ways to cool down! Our participants had a great time using tools to break up the ice cubes to rescue the critters frozen inside!
This was a great activity as it got our brains churning to figure out how to accomplish our task AND cooled us down by touching the ice and getting splattered by water!

🍼Baby Dolls🍼

Our Participants love playing with dolls, especially baby dolls! To help cool off on a hot day we decided to have a bath day for the babies! Participants loved taking care of the baby dolls and giving them a bath! This kind of role playing activity is great because it allows our participants to explore their knowledge of the world and what they see, whether that's at home with younger siblings or what they see on tv and movies!

🌊Water Play🌊

With the rising temperature as we head towards summer we thought a little water play time was in order! Our participants LOVE when we bring out the water toys! This time we had a truck wash station and a fishing station! Water play is a great sensory activity and perfect for cooling down in the warm weather!
