The kids also learned to use their senses for investigation and discovery. They did this by helping to make Silly Putty. They measured and mixed the ingredients until it was the right consistency. Then the kids used their hands to explore it.

Dr.Seuss in Toddlers The toddlers read the book "The Cat in the Hat " and than created their very own hat using materials such as paper plates, crayons, and markers. Then they reenacted a scenario from the book using a hat, a book, a teacup, a fish in a fishbowl, and a balance ball.
