April's Mask-Arade Day!

Just wearing a simple little mask can open up a world of imagination to a child.
In April, we had our very first "Mask-Arade Day" at Rugrats! I cannot tell you the many different games and scenarios that were conjured up by my group of kids when I brought out a box of little masks and new capes for them to enjoy that day. And it was a beautiful sunny day as well! They became superheros, animals in the zoo, pets, as well as all kinds of characters in their favorite TV shows. Some of the little ones were kinda scared of the older kids in their masks, but by the end of the day, even the littlest kids were trying to wear one! They wore their masks while they played, while they ate and while they napped! And for me it was pure enjoyment! I laughed and laughed as they looked at me with their eyes coming out of the wrong holes and with their masks upside down or around their necks! For a provider, this wonderful free play abandon and happiness is like heaven in a job that can sometimes be more than a little stressed;)
It was definitely an April day of foolish fun for all of us!
