March Meeting - Starfish Project Complete!

We had a wonderful time at our Playgroup today. We collected items for the Starfish Foster Home in China. To go with our "Starfish" theme, we did a "beach" craft project and ate starfishy snacks (Goldfish starfish, Nemo gummy snacks, "sandie" cookies).

Free for all play.

Making our "Beach in a Bottle" projects. The rice was a big hit as a sensory-rich activity.

"Beach in a Bottle" - beads, seashells, pearls, charms, etc in a bottle of brown rice. Great "seek and find" activity, doubles as a noise maker...what fun!

Our donations for the Starfish Home.

Next month we will be doing Make A Wish. Details to follow soon!
