Preschool Play Camp: "Garden Adventures"

Camp was so much fun today!

• We read these books:

          UP, DOWN, AND AROUND by Katherine Ayres
          THE WIND'S GARDEN by Bethany Roberts
          GROWING COLORS by Bruce McMillan
          THE WHOLE GREEN WORLD by Tony Johnston

• We decorated flower pots and planted our perennial daisies.

• We heard songs and rhymes about flowers, gardens and growing during circle time with Ms. Steph. We talked about gardens and imagined what we would grow if we each had one magic seed that could grow anything we wanted. We pretended to be seeds growing up from the soil, tall and strong into plants with help of the sun and rain.

• We created our own "sunflower" snacks from pretzels, apple slices, bananas, peanut butter and sunflower kernels.

• We painted and stamped our own garden scenes.

• We played the game, "Seed, Seed, Sprout!"

• We looked for things growing in nature. We saw sprouting sunflowers, smelled and tasted herbs, and tried to find ripe strawberries on the plants in the garden.

• We made flowers from strips of paper.
