My Project

HI. We have a passion for play and learning outdoors. We love to allow our youngest learners the opportunity to learn thru play. They love doing this inside the classroom but they do even better when we can play outside with the fresh air and a little more space to move about. In this project we would love to create different play learning stations. One would be the camping station and would allow them to set up a tent and pretend they have transferred to their favorite camp ground. Another area would be the gardening center that would allow for them to get dirty and plant different real and make believe flowers and veggies. We would also love to create a station that allows for them to play real world and use the play house to re-enact that situation. The stepping stones, magnets, tower tubes and trucks will be part of the large loose parts area and allow them to build and create at their own creativity. Thank you for considering helping our littlest get off to a great start with their education.
