We continued our "study" of owls and other nocturnal animals this week!
We read Owl Babies, a long time favorite with the children!
After reading it, the children made fingerprint owls!
(another Pinterest idea!)
While most of the children were content with the three fingerprints representing the three owl babies,
Bunny insisted on adding in the mama....
...because afterall this is her favorite page, when the mama owl comes home!
We read Batbaby and then made bat finger puppets.
We used some bats from Halloween to practice counting!
We love this book, Lights Out, Night's Out.
The mama of one of our former children gifted us with this great book!
Once-in-a-while, we like to line coloring pages up by age just to see the developmental growth!
top row ages: 25 months, 32 months, 34 months
bttom row: 34 months, 4 yrs 3 months, and 4 yrs 9 months
On Friday, we let Katie (15) take over the Creative Time!
She thought up this cute Nocturnal Animal craft!

Bird watching is a favorite activity around here. And apparently so is bird feeder filling!
All the children lined up to watch Katie fill the feeders!
We were happy to have some Outside Time this week. We headed to the garden to check on the cool weather crops that Poppaw John has planted! We were able to feed the chickens some kale, as well as have kale and spinach for ourselves!
Working together to try to push the tree over!
The next two weeks will be Christmas at An Enchanted Childhood Playschool!
The books we read each week will be featured on the Amazon widget in the sidebar on your right. If you purchase a book through this link, I hopefully (not so far, but maybe someday) will make a few cents!
