What could be more fun to a child than playing with robots?
During the warm summer month of July, we reserve one special week to pay tribute to all things "robot"!
All year long my childcare children wait excitedly for the month of July when I bring out my collection of Lava Lamps of every color, and also my big collection of Schylling Robots! These fun, and happy collections of mine have become such a fun part of my childcare that they have earned their own special week of celebration!
On this wonderful summer week, we have "robot" everything from stories, making robots out of recycled boxes and A LOT of tape, as well as walking and dancing like robots. And this year on Robot Day, I made them each a hot-lava lamp tee-shirt from their favorite color of Lava Lamp and then we had cupcakes with robots on top! But if you ask the kids, the very best thing of all on Robot Day is our now famous robot races! They get to chose a robot from my collection and then we watch the mysterious little machines as they race "robotic-ally" across the porch! The sparkle of excitement shines in their eyes as they watch in wonder at the robots racing each other. I wonder if they think they are really alive;)
Summer just wouldn't be the same now without Lava Lamps and Robot Day!
