✨ A little playdough rolled and a plethora of materials and loose parts invited creativity to lead the way.

Little hands took turns, helped one another, and learned that good things take time (and arm muscles 😉). Cold noses, warm hearts, and a delicious reward at the end, winter magic at its finest. 💙

Our snow people have followed us indoors and the learning continues.

By bringing pieces of our outdoor world inside, children are able to extend their play, revisit ideas, and deepen their thinking, honoring their work and curiosity long after the snow melts.

Play doesn’t end when we come indoors. It simply transforms. 🤍
