Lazy Last Days of Summer

9/10/2016

0 Comments

 
We love summer! The bright sunshine, the garden of flowers buzzing with bees and butterflies flitting in and out, and so many cloudless days bring many opportunities for free play outside and that is what children do here at my house. PLAY! Whether it is play in the sand, water or just enjoying the green grass and hot sun, it is wonderful to be a child and play with joyful abandon in the summer time! Sharing bubbles and a Popsicle with your little friends or spending time concocting potions together during a water day, help to encourage camaraderie and laughter. Having a carnival filled with sweet fun and games or maybe just playing in a giant sandbox filled with hidden treasures will spark the imaginations and fantasies of children and allows for uninterrupted discussions like whether the ocean can really be heard inside that mysterious shell or maybe if pirates hid those pretty agates and "diamonds" down in the sand!
​Allowing ample time for free play creates an atmosphere of happiness and pleasure for children that makes the long days at childcare something to enjoy and look forward to instead of dread.
Watching the summer pass away is always sad for me, but the images of the children I have watched grow and play that year will always stay in my heart. And my hope is, that the memories that summers at Rugrats have created will stay with those children forever as well!
