Fridays  9:30-1:30

​

Farm Chores - Fire Building & Whittling - Art - Forts - Open Play - Puppets

We EXPLORE.... build, create, play and build relationships

 This class easily flows as children choose their activity for much of the class as they are also  encouraged to broaden their interests and activities. Inclusion and collaboration are skills we are practicing. Supplies for open-ended nature art is offered, as well as projects to wok on. Our activities and time work with the seasons that offer variety. Offerings will vary as well as have some routine. Children have time to explore, imagine and play. Children may play along side a lamb, ducks or goats and have time observe and enjoy their calming or fun nature. Time to try things out, like how to best tie a knot to hold up a branch for the fort. Enjoy chatting while working on an art project. We will feed & water the farm animals, as interested & old enough : help muck a stall, or groom an animal & love on them.
