Jaydon and I enrolled in a class once a week at the local college that is a parent and me class. We go for a few hours and there is a ton of cool stuff to do. Part of the time is lots of free play and art projects and neat activities, part of the time is singing and stories and part of the time the kids play while the parents take turns in two groups having a parenting discussion about various topics. It has been a lot of fun! Jaydon loves the singing and music time, he requests songs and is great at doing some of the hand motions. I love that they have so many art projects out and ready for the kids to work on because Jaydon doesn't do any art thing for more than a couple minutes and it seems so daunting to do all the work at my house for a couple minutes of playtime. The parenting discussions have been great and really helpful for different ideas and strategies, especially since we are really hitting those tantrums and challenges the come with raising a 2 year old.
In the first couple weeks he built a wood sculpture, painted with an apple slice (though it is just the red painting from the picture), and colored on a paper plate.
Here he used eye droppers full of different dyes in a really large coffe filter like thing. It has been fun and I am so glad we are getting this great opportunity. Minus the crazy parking ticket issue that was happily resolved but still irritates me.
