ooey gooey fun

this friday was ooey gooey day for my class. i believe 4-year-olds should get to play like 4-year-olds, which means having a bunch of (messy) fun! in case you are horrified by the following pictures, click here to learn more about the importance of sensory integration for young children.

a student teacher getting inducted (hazed) with spaghetti


davis & berkley enjoyed the sand box and exploring the rock salts


starbucks gives their used coffee grinds away ...
a wonderful smelling sensory activity


you can never go wrong with shaving cream


haven't we all dreamed of swimming in noodles
(okay, maybe chocolate pudding)






it's great getting to be a kid!
