Play Safe

We had a special Birthday Girl today!

So

Happy Birthday!

We spoke a lot about playing safe and things that can be dangerous like:

Climbing High

Spinning too close

Running Wild

Jumping off high things

Preschooler's had many more ideas about things that could be dangerous.  We also talked about how to do these things safely like:

watching out for others when we are swinging

having manners on the trampoline

climbing up to the playhouse safely

taking your turn

and 

using the railing up and down the stairs

And of course we had lots of fun practicing these things!

We also read the most perfect book for this talk on safely--The Cat in the Hat.

I love reading this book to young children and seeing the expression on their little faces when that naughty Cat does things they can see are dangerous!

We also had the most marvelous time doing our Cat in the Hat craft.

Our Birthday Girl's mom made us the most fabulous cup cakes for Snack Time and they were all delighted to find a delicious chocolatey surprise in the middle (as was I), YUM!

AND

Of course we talked about all things school...
