Specifically for Children of all ages and their Grown-ups

Spring is in the air! There’s nothing like those little buds on the trees, butterflies, birds, bees, and the extended hours of daylight. And how better to celebrate than with a Spring Fling! Today we also celebrate Norooz, which means “New Day.” This holiday commemorates the Persian New Year and Spring Equinox. This deeply rooted holiday is full of traditions. Join us to learn more and to celebrate the season with fun activities throughout the day:

Music & Movement: Spring Sing – This spring themed circle time will introduce your child to spring songs that will help them remember the concepts of the season.

Sensational Story Time: During this story time we will follow seven characters and their friends as they prepare for the annual Norooz celebration. Join us as we read Gala and her Friends Celebrate Norooz!

Good to Go Game: Spring Shapes Relay – As children work in cooperation with one another to complete relays they are building upon their social skills. This special spring relay will work on identifying and matching spring shapes while working together to complete this movement relay.

Smart Art: Flowers and fun fill the air during Norooz! These art activities will be a inspired by the Norooz holiday.

Science Secrets: Planting Party – spring is the season for growth. Today learn all about the life cycle of a plant through song as you plant your very own take home flower.

Nature Tales: I is for Inchworm – Children will get to observing & interacting with the worms – eew! Or is it? Come find out in the fun, curiosity inspiring, and cool activity time.

Play Partner: Pretendgineers and Brain Builders, our experienced stage staff of trained early childhood and child development educators, grown-ups

Grown-up Tip: The seasons are a great way to help your child understand change. Photograph your child in different seasons. Make sure that the characteristics of the season are apparent in the environment.

Make a book of seasons. Ask your child to write a story to go with each picture. Use the pictures to sequence the seasons. These pictures and activities will show your children how they are growing and changing with the seasons.
