Creative Playtime

For the past month, every Tuesday morning Kate and I head out to our Creative Playtime class through the City of Davis. The class is 2 hours long in which the kids get free playtime for an hour and then after cleanup we have snack, story time, circle time and then park time. Kate enjoys her time here and loves playing with all the fun things that surround her. Below are some pictures from today. One of Kate's favorite things to do is organize the little animal figurines. Sometimes we build a zoo with blocks for the animals but today we piled them in the barn. Next, Kate found the ponies and brushed all their hair...she is such a girl!
Play dough time!
This kitchen is a bit too tall for Kate but it didn't stop her from washing the plate in the sink.
Kate loves to hold the "baby" and take her all around the classroom. The doll also likes to walk the balance beam with Kate but unfortunately that picture didn't turn out.
Puppet show! Well, sort of....Kate likes to pull all the puppets off the stand and look them over. I was surprised she actually let me put these two puppets on her hand.
Kate has a huge fascination with helicopters. The other week we saw a helicopter at Daddy's hospital. It was getting ready to take off and the noise was pretty loud so Kate didn't want to see it lift off the ground. However, ever since that day she talks about going "up, up, up" in the helicopter with Mama, Dada, Bebe, Chee chee, Papa, and Gramma.
Kate found all the baby dolls and arranged them on the chair...she is quite the organizer.
Park time! Kate loves going down the slide all by herself.

Toys are brought out during park time and so the kids get to share wheelbarrows, strollers, balls, and cars.
Kate especially loves it when she gets lucky enough to get a baby and a stroller. Frequently this has posed a huge problem when it is time to clean-up. Kate usually throws a fit when I tell her we need to take the baby inside.
We have 2 more weeks left of playtime. It has been a lot of fun!

Wow! It sounds like this is a very busy playtime! I'm glad you took the pictures so that we can see what Kate does in class.

Love,
