Toddle Bots - July Blog

Oh my goodness! The field trip was a big hit! The Toddle Bots could hardly contain their excitement to get on the bus and they all sat in the front and had their own seat belts on. It was pretty cute! We took a ton of photos and I had to pick and choose which ones to put on our documentation panel (which is located by the Toddle Bots lockers). Luckily this field trip was flexible enough that we could still fit in a quick rest time/ nap time for those who needed it (and some of them definitely needed it!) It will be interesting to see how the farm field trip will go in August (we can’t wait)! 

Every Tuesday since July has started, we have been having off-site picnic lunches! We normally walk to the Rec Center, play there for a bit then eat our lunch and make our way back. We also have been having some of our snacks on the picnic tables outside in the morning which we have noticed gives us WAY more time to play outside when it’s nice out and not really hot like the afternoon often is. Sometimes if it too hot, or on days we have been outside for the whole morning and lunch, we will take a break and head to the gym which the Toddle Bots always seem to enjoy going to.

Outside, we have been into making forts and lately making up random stories. One that they seem to enjoy is about a witch who needs to find children to put in the dinner menu and the element of surprise when I pick out someone’s name seems to excite them a lot! They are always asking for me to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider song and yelling out “BOO” at random times during the song. It’s like they enjoy being startled! Also, they have been quite imaginative lately with talking about the witch and the dragon!

I cannot even contain my excitement about how our outdoor challenge went! We had an amazing day building forts outside, having an art wall mural area set up, and face painting of course! Also, who can forget that we had a nap in the gym! We set up 3 lamps in the really dark gym and they were all so excited to sleep in there! It was really cozy and exciting all at once! We can’t wait to do it again!!

The last week of July we also went to the Fire Hall and visited them there! The fire hall is always a big hit!!
