Little Rainbows Childcare

Little ones helping set up an obstacle course!

The day after Halloween calls for a Pajama, Popcorn and Movie Day! 🎃🍿

A perfect example of “process over product”.

I could have easily purchased some fabric leaves and told the children exactly where to glue them to make this adorable fall wreath craft. Instead, we started out on a walk around our neighbourhood to gather different types of leaves, pine cones, and flowers. We talked about the different colours and textures of the leaves. They were so excited every time they found the perfect leaf! Then we came back and they were free to cut and glue all of their treasures wherever they felt they best belonged. This ended in some not very “Pinterest worthy” crafts but some amazing art that the children were so proud of.

A little “back to school” invitation to play for the first day of school! 🚌✏️

One of my favourite resources. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the likelihood of a child trying a food when the benefits of the food are actually explained to them. It’s also a great way to start conversations about our bodies and health. Kids are curious and WANT to learn! 🍎🥕

We recently went on a treasure hunt walk to the park. We gathered rocks, flowers, and sticks to use as loose parts in our mud kitchen. After some fun at the park, the heat made us head back for the day.

Picking blackberries in our backyard! The children noticed the difference in taste between the squishy, dark berries and the hard, red berries. We talked about the lifecycle of plants and ripening of fruit.

Fun in the sun! ☀️

Happy Canada Day! I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend with their family 🇨🇦

Creativity is messy and we are VERY creative 🎨
