Yellow days are the brightest days! 💛 Today our Mighty Explorers explored the color YELLOW. We searched through yellow sensory items, created bright bracelets and necklaces, and helped feed hungry ducks with yellow foods. 🦆 We have even been practicing our self-care skills by washing up and cleaning after activities!

Small hands, big imaginations, and a whole world of nocturnal creatures 🌙🦉✨

This months library adventure: bats, owls, raccoons, and all the animals that come alive after bedtime. We listened to stories, colored, and explored animals.

Huge thank you to for coming to spend time with us yesterday!

Orange you glad it’s exploration day? Today our Explorers discovered the color ORANGE through creative play and movement! We practiced our basketball skills, created and “fed” hungry tigers, and decorated our Mighty Explorers badges 🐯🏀🏕️
