Even though February is a short month, we have a tremendous amount of activities planned. Here are our plans for each of the learning centers:

Art – peanut butter play dough, heart foldovers, “sewing” hearts with yarn, printing valentine bags, dipping chalk in liquid starch to draw, sponge painting over doilies, valentine collaging, drip painting with eye droppers, beading hearts with red and white beads, catching yarn on coarse sand paper, car painting, bubble wrap printing, and creating a trash tower

Cooking – baking pretzel letters

Blocks – cars and car rug, big trucks, and then farm animals

Dramatic Play – pet shop, then regular housekeeping

Discovery – shadow screen, tornado tubes and fountain, smelly jars, followed by shells and magnifying glasses

Sand – sand wheels with cups, shovels and funnels, and finally, wet sand with castle making supplies

Water – shredded paper with plastic dogs, red soapy water with whisks, water with measuring cups and water wheels, and then washing housekeeping dishes

Music & movement – Chino blocks and maracas, followed by tap shoes, scarves, and rain sticks
