Trip to the farm

 

 

 

 

We had another amazing visit to the Veurink farm...thanks Alice Marie and Isaac! Although it was cold that didn't dampen the kids' enthusiasm as we visited the horses, cows, pigs and chickens. The hayride was fun and gave us a good excuse to snuggle with our little ones.

The snacks were great too! Thanks everyone!!!

Update

Renovations have begun at the church so we have to be off site for the next two weeks.

This week we are off to the farm again (weather permitting). Please meet at the church at 9:30 and then we'll drive out together.

The following week we are going swimming at the complex. Details to come.

Don't forget to let Lezlie or Linda know how you can help with the Mothers' Market. We still need people to set up the night before, help at the sale and clean up after.

Celebrating Jesus' Birthday With Our Little Seedlings

We had so much fun celebrating Jesus' birth together with the kids! We decided that our Christmas Party would be a good day for a jammie day (parents, grandparents, and helpers too!) We made and decorated salt dough ornaments,

played in the playroom,

& the kids (with help) made foam snow people with pictures of themselves. This was the easiest kids' group shot ever!

Emily read the children the Christmas story and then they decorated cookies! This was Jude's creation which he proudly ate after we took a picture of it :)

Christmas party

Don't forget that Dec. 10th is our Christmas party. Please wear your jammies and be prepared for an action-packed morning.

You may have noticed our great new logo amongst the pictures in banner at the top of the blog. We'd just like to say a huge THANK YOU to Heather Dickson who designed it for us. Heather, thanks so much for using your amazing gift and creativity for our Little Seedlings!

Play Doh Recipe

We had 2 new children at playschool this morning! It was so encouraging to share our vision for the playschool with new parents/grandparents and to play with new friends! Welcome Alec & MacKenzie!

Here is our favourite play doh recipe...

2 1/2 C flour
2 pkg unsweetened Kool-Aid
2 C boiling water
1/2 C salt
3 Tbs oil

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add boiling water & oil. Mix again. Let cool. Use your hands to knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container.

First official morning

We had 5 children attend our first day of playschool. Even though we were small in numbers there was lots of fun and playing going on.

Thanks to Mrs. T and Mrs. Emily for coming to help us.

Parents, please remember to fill out your registration forms and give them to Linda.

There is still lots of room if you want to join us!

Registration & Fun Morning

Please come at 9:20 on Thursday, Sept. 17th to register your kids for fall. We'll have fun activities to keep them busy while we meet.

Since we are a cooperative playschool, think about how you want to help in the group since there are lots of jobs to be filled.

Work afternoon

Join us this Saturday (Sept. 12) between 2 and 4 p.m. as we prepare our playschool for a new season. We'll be organizing toys, cleaning, and preparing playdoh. Many hands make light work and we hope to see you and your hands at Fort William Baptist.
