Last week we experienced a ‘pineapple express’ in Victoria, which meant we had warm temperatures and pouring rain.  Our kids thought wet and warm was the perfect combination!              

  Many children took the opportunity to experiment with the fine art of balance!

     We started with blocks and styrofoam.      “What is this?” he asks. “It’s a box,” she answers.        Some children built inside the box…           …some built beside.       Some children crammed blocks into all the cracks and crevices…   …while others built for the simple joy of knocking them down.  

Who has never wanted to jump fully into a fantastic puddle?          Puddle playing? Or play in just plain ‘ol Dirt and Muck?  The next time your children walk in the door dirty stop before you frown about the laundry, remember your favourite splash and maybe, just maybe splash a little the next time you walk by the edge of a puddle.

“We need wood!”       “I think we might need more….”                            “We’ll get it!”   “We still need more!”      This one is heavy!  I need help!   Is this enough?                                                  Yeah!  Now let’s take it off!                

“Hey, let’s use these as lily pads!”     “Let’s get lots and have a lily pad party!”      “We need two more.”      “I need to practice my balancing.”      “Wait, stop!  There’s another one!” “Hey, it looks like the number 7!”         

New stories…    New friendships…    New experiences…..             Welcome to Carrot Seed.  We’re glad you’re here!  

At Carrot Seed recently we experimented with ‘white on black’ and ‘black on white’.  Using a variety of painting tools encouraged opportunities for creative discovery.
