Milk crates are not just for milk

The centre acquired used milk crates to add to our loose parts collection. The children are encouraged to be creative and use their large muscles to lift, carry, and move them.
They have done wonderful things especially in terms of sharing and team work.
It's takes a lot of strength to balance all those big, plastic boxes in the wheelbarrow. 

Every single crate was used! What great play value.
Check your garage for safe, unused items to bring out into the backyard and see what your children can create with their imaginations.

Where did summer go?

Last Thursday was 35 degrees. Today we need our mitts and hats. 


    No matter what the weather is sand is always a favorite activity.
    We use our muscles to dig deep holes.
    We use our imaginations to make pies and cakes.
    The sand pit also becomes our construction site.
  




    Climbing over the big tires requires strength and perseverance.




    No matter what the weather is we always enjoy our outside time 
    with our friends.
