Merry Month of May Activities

MERRY MONTH OF MAY ACTIVITIES

Check out some activities planned at our daycare for the month of May:

May Poem:

May’s a month of happy sounds,
The hum of buzzing bees,
The chirp of little baby birds
And the song of a gentle breeze.

The grass is green.
Flower blossoms I have seen.
The days are warm.
By evening it cools.
It’s time to find the garden tools.

Organic Gardening

You don’t need a garden in order for your children to have fun with plants. A balcony or even a window ledge is enough space to let your kids grow a few organic plants.

Walking and Exercise

What a great way to exercise & spend time with kids & less time in front of TV & computer…go on a nature walk with the children.  Use a bit of imagination & have kids collect different feathers, colored pebbles, play I Spy (birds, trees, flowers, etc).

Picnics

Lunch outdoor…its just fun! Enough said.

Backyard Scavenger Hunt

Make a list of outdoor items for your children to find. We suggest different leaf colors, outdoor bugs, sightings of birds, butterflies, and flowers. Print off an “official” list for your kids to check off as they find them. For your very little non-readers, try a picture list that they can identify and point too.

Mother’s Day

Forget moms? Never!  Lots of great crafts & activities to bring home to mom!
