Dirt Sensory Play – explore a little patch of nature to see what you can discover
Materials:
· Dirt or a small patch of garden space (or a large bin or pot with dirt inside)
· If you are unable to access real dirt, this is also a great play dough activity
· Digging tools like a trowel, big spoon, stick or sand toys
· Little rocks, seeds (popcorn, beans, etc.) or beads, buttons, etc.
· Small cup or watering can
Instructions for outside play:
· Digging and planting in actual dirt or garden can be amazing fun
· Use the tools to dig up the dirt and place seeds to make your own little garden
· Use the small sticks to mark where the seeds have been planted
· Water the planted seeds and watch them start to grow
· Extend the play by making mud pies – messy but fun!
Instructions for inside play:
· Inside with playdough or clay
· Pretend the playdough is the dirt – roll it in a ball or flatten it out like a garden
· “Plant” the seeds or beads in playdough
· Use tools or your fingers to dig in the playdough to find the seeds
· building a flower with playdough (rolling out a long stem, rolling balls for the center and petals of the flower).

Cupcake Liner Flowers

· Crayons or markers to draw stems and to add details to the picture
· Scrap paper in various colours
· Paper plate
· Scissors

Instructions:
· Invite your child to separate the liners or filters – this is great for fine motor skills
· Invite them to use the scissors to snip around the circle to make petals
· Glue the liners to the large paper inside out so the colourful side is showing
· Continue to glue one inside the other to make a pretty flower
· Add the stem and some leaves

The Tiny Seed Yoga
Materials:
· The Tiny Seed Yoga instructions can be found here:
Instructions:
· Watch the weekly Circle Time video with Ms. Angela reading the story
· Pause the video to encourage your child to move into each pose and hold it for at least 15 seconds
· The goal is to use your body to “act out” the story so it’s okay to add your own actions too. Have fun!
