What do we do during our time Together?
We believe in play-based exploration and are ultimately guided by the children’s interests. We also curate experiences/provocations/activities with their direct input.
Some potential opportunities include:
Fairy-themed creations - fairy house building, make your own fairy wings and magic wands, solar printing, tea parties, potion-making, flower preservation and art, origami, kirigami, needle-felting, papier-mâché, forest play, and lots of jumping to get the flying effect:)
Mindful Movement & Regulation- Yoga, beadwork, Play-based breath work, vestibular play, weaving, fidget toys, and calming environment
Music- Drumming (tongue-drum, rain drum, etc.), singing, ukulele, bells, and any thing else that can make interesting noises
Sensory- slime, water play, bubbles, potion-making, ooblek, baking, creek play, and vestibular play
Pirates- treasure hunts, carving, bow and arrow making, cooking over fire, river play, and printmaking to create flags
Cooking- cooking together and preparing a meal for us to enjoy during the playdate, with leftovers sent home
Sewing (6 years +)- Sewing by hand or machine, guided by whichever projects interest the child most. This could include garment construction, appliqué (traditional and reverse), embroidery, needle felting, printmaking/solar printing on fabric.
