We hosted a fabulous birthday party on Sunday! The birthday girl had picked “night time” as her theme. We made beautiful “night time” boxes with lots of scary critters and glow in the dark stars! Then we made cupcakes with blue royal icing and yellow fondant stars on. It was lots of fun and a great, new theme for us!
This past Sunday we hosted our annual Halloween Cookie Decorating Workshop. Our little guests were not so into the idea of Halloween colours, so our cookies are not so scary but very happy! Happy Halloween to all!!
Today was the first day of our March Break Camp and we had lots of fun! We made beautiful pictures frames and cake pops in the morning. After lunch, we went to the park for a game of freeze tag! We made smoothies for afternoon snack and then created unique collages on canvases. All in all, we had a lovely afternoon and look forward to tomorrow.

Instead, it is nurtured and nourished by parents, family and teachers, and it is fostered by providing children with open-ended activities. Play allows them to experiment with a wide variety of tools and materials that provide challenges and opportunities for them to express their thoughts and feelings, to meet and solve meaningful and real problems, to learn flexible and divergent thinking and to develop social, language and literacy skills and concepts.
