About a month ago we sent cheerleading thoughts to one of our moms that competed in a Tough Mudder race. We were all curous about the race and the night before the big race we had a big daycare meet and greet bbq and made sure to provide plenty of carb rich foods for her carb load she had to do. She did well and braved the challenging obstacle course. We were all very proud of her, and even motivated some of us adults to perhaps give it a go next year?
So it was only natural that her children would be inspired to compete in their own Tough Mudder course. Our loose parts outdoor classroom naturally lends itself to foster that creativity. What a fun connection between real life and play!

One of our grand traditions we have at the centre is the centre pieces. The children take them rather seriously and put a great amount of thought into each one. They range from simple and minimalistic, yet well thought out....
.....all the way to 'where can we put our food, because the centre piece has taken over the table?'
...and somewhere in between.
So it came as no surprise that when the chidren play in the dramatic play area, the centre piece portion of play is a serious process. Another lovely connection between real life and play.
