#Playful Learning

[hilltopchildrencenter]

In our preschool program in Liberty Hill, Texas, we hold a deep appreciation for the power of creativity in shaping young minds. Recognizing that fostering creativity is essential, we have woven art into the fabric of our curriculum. Art provides children with a canvas for self-expression, an avenue for exploring their imagination, and a platform for honing crucial skills that will serve them well in their future endeavors.

Playing in Sand and Mud is good for kids

Watching my little son, Amogh, at the age of 5, playing in the sand brings immense joy. Amogh dives into the soft grains with enthusiasm, creating a world of his own. The simple act of scooping and molding the sand becomes a delightful adventure for him. In his small hands, the sand becomes a canvas for imagination, as he molds castles and shapes with unbridled creativity. Amogh’s laughter…

Playful Learning: Activities for Your Child’s First School Years

Play is an essential part of a child's development, and it can also be a great way to learn. There are many different ways to incorporate playful learning into your child's day, from simple activities like reading aloud and playing with blocks to more elaborate projects like building a fort or creating a nature journal. When children play, they are using their imaginations, problem-solving skills, and creativity. They are also learning about the world around them and how to interact with others. By providing your child with opportunities for playful learning, you are helping them to grow and develop in all areas.

The value of play in children’s early development, especially in the preschool years, has long been recognized. It is a crucial aspect of healthy brain development since it helps children to engage in creativity while promoting their imagination and skills. It also seeks to develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional strength.

Cannot overstate my gratitude for being able to have funny conversations with friends in my phone btw. Sometimes you're drowning in work and want to talk to smart funny talented charming people but you also want to be wearing pyjamas and on the couch so comfy and cozy while you're doing it

Guess which dumbass tried to initiate playtime with the new babies and got warned by their mom to settle down by a peck to the face

Child directed activities play a pivotal role in early childhood education. When these activities are encouraged, children are provided with a high-quality, positive, and enjoyable environment for learning and development. When kids have fun while learning, it fosters essential skills and qualities that lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

(WIP) I love when I accidentally draw a good composition.... needs fixing but... I slayed I fear

[spindle-and-nima]

Both my bunnies know the command "inside!" Where when I say inside they know to toddle back to their pen and retire for the night. However spindle has a track record of making a game of it by obediently running to the pen door, binkying, then bolting the opposite direction until he decides the game is over and he goes inside.

I found out today Nima has also picked up this exhausting game and it's now like herding mischievous goats around my room until they both go the heck to bed 😭

some lil sketches of my boys

[transmasccofee]

this scene is ruining my life at first I didn’t get it but now I get it and Aughdhyfhfheujfuejfjjfjfnv

[rosalinesurvived]

I freaking love this scene so much, you dont even know. Its so heartmeltingly cute: they’re discovering his powers together! They’re in on the secret together!!! Mason being presumably the first person to actually, seriously just reach out to Corey, just some feeling of warmth. Its what Corey probably needed so much after losing Lucas in such a way, not to mention his parents. No wonder he fell so hard

Its also so much fun to compare this scene to the Liam-Mason Gym Scene in Season 4 Episode 5, just the contrasts.. *chef’s kiss*

[gregoftom]

GOD i am trying so fucking hard not to read into the fact that tom repressed the shit out of how he actually felt when he learned he probably won’t go to jail and then when he went to greg, he could. express it. you know. he could be himself. i really hate so much what i read into it BECAUSE I SHOULDN’T BC I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS LATER AND I SHOULDN’T TRUST THIS SHIT BUT ARHJARHA HOW CAN I NOT WHEN HE’S REPRESSED ASF PER USUAL BUT THE MOMENT HE GOES TO GREG OR IS ALONE WITH GREG HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF FULLY, HIS RAGE, PAIN, [MANIC] HAPPINESS, AFFECTION. I HATE THIS SO MUCH. AND GREG IS IN THE CORNER COWERING BC HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT THE REASON TOM ACTS THIS WAY AROUND HIM IS. no. i Refuse to read That into it. but yall get what i’m saying right. 

AND THEN THIS

Remus glanced back at Harry, who was trying to flip a flapjack over in the pan. “Hey Sirius, do you still know how to do that fancy flapjack flip?” 

Sirius grinned as he stood up. “Do I still know how, of course I do!” He came up to stand next to Harry. “May I give it a go, chef?”

“‘Course.” Harry gladly handed the spatula over to Sirius.

“Thank you, chef, but I won’t be needing that.” He took the handle of the pan and lifted it out in front of him, making sure there was plenty of room so as not to burn Harry. He tilted the pan forward until the flapjack sat at the very edge of the pan and quickly flicked the pan upwards. The flapjack went up into the air flipping once, twice, and then coming back down, completely missing the pan and landing sticky side down on the kitchen floor.

“Oh bugger!” Sirius exclaimed, but he was laughing uproariously. Remus almost fell out of his seat, he was laughing so hard. Harry blinked once and then his stunned face broke into a laugh as well.

“Yup! You still got it!” Remus said as soon as he was able to catch his breath.
