Each morning, the Young Toddlers enjoyed picnic play with a red and white checkered blanket, picnic basket and pretend food, plates and utencils...
During Circle Time, the Young Toddlers enjoyed picnic-related literature and discussed how and why we picnic... They learned that picnics occur in the summer, when the weather is warm. They learned how and what to pack on a picnic - a blanket to sit on, paper plates and plastic cups and utencils, as well as food(s) and drink(s) that do not require preparation - cold lunches!
The Young Toddlers went on a picnic of their own... And they helped mix up delicious lemonade to bring along! The toddlers helped their friends and teachers spread out a red and white checkered blanket under a shady tree just across the street at Shubow Park! The toddlers enjoyed their cold lunches and lemonade, as well as a pretzel and marshmallow surprise treat for dessert!
Like the Older Toddlers and Preschoolers, the Young Toddlers also went on a nature walk! They saw Mr. Owl's hole in a tree, Brown Bear's cave in the rocks, squirrels, chipmunks, dogs, birds, feathers, water, ducks and fish!
During Art, the Young Toddlers painted a large picnic basket using brown paint and brushes. They later glued their favorite picnic foods they previously colored into their picnic baskets. With guidance from their teachers, the Young Toddlers also created a picnic blanket using white paper, red paint, a checkered foam template and sponge brushes.
As a class, the Young Toddlers created a picnic quilt using pieces of white fabric, fabric markers and ribbon.
Take a look at all our picnic fun!
