  • Tree Rubbings

    The Early 3’s took their work outside this week! We brought paper and crayons outside to see what happened when we colored with a crayon on the surface of a tree. The children were excited to discover the cool patterns they could make by rubbing their crayon across the paper sideways and holding it the regular way against the tree.

  • Native American Talking Feather

    Some Native American Tribes used to use a decorated feather during meetings and discussions to allow everyone a chance to speak their mind without being interrupted.  The children had a chance to try it out during small groups and take their own feather home.
