Weekly planner

Hello friends! We have hit such a stride at Seedlings, that I feel it would be nice to write about it a bit more. I am hoping to post a Weekly Planner every Sunday to give everyone an idea of what we will be having for meals, what stories we will be telling, and what projects we will be working on.

First, Meals! At the top of the blog, you will see a link to our Meals for the Week! Click on it, and you will see what we will be serving for the week. If you have a surplus of any fruits or veggies, we can take them off your hands and feed them to your kids. We have two snacks, in addition to our breakfast and lunch. The first snack happens in the morning on our walk, and the other one after rest time in the afternoon. Usually these snacks consist of fruit and nuts, or veggie and dip.

Each week, we will continue to tell nature stories that are based on what is happening outside! We have been making these up for the most part, and telling them at meal time, or when a child is needing some extra attention. I will start to post a few of these stories that we tell each week in a blog, so that you can ask your child questions about the story, and so that you can also join in on the story telling fun. This is great for literacy skill building and a great way to connect with your child.

This week we hope to do a few spring time projects! We will be dyeing cotton play cloths with kool aid, and we will be making some spring colored play dough to freshen up our play. Kelly and I are both working on heavy dolls for the kids to play with and we have a new doll highchair and cradle as well. Along with these projects, the outdoor gardening projects are beginning in earnest! As the days grow warmer, we will be spending more and more time outside. So, be prepared for your child to be dirty and tired by pick up time!

Happy Spring!
