Greetings Honeybee Families,
Thank you for joining us at the Kingdom of Halloween festival. We hope everyone enjoyed the experience. We appreciate our volunteers for helping out at the craft table and for all those who helped put it together!
We had our first tea time this past week. It was perfect for the chilly morning, and the children enjoyed a warm cup of peppermint tea. They delightfully watched their breath and the steam rise from their cups. It looked truly magical in the morning light. We will have more tea days as the weather gets colder.
Our forest is now full of colorful leaves. The children enjoyed raking pathways around our platform and creating leaf piles. They were invited over to the Turtle’s class for some fun leaf play. We’ve had many leaf collectors as well, as we take our nature walk from the forest to the garden. Our nature table is filled with various new leaves each day.
The children enjoyed hearty laughter at our story called The Pumpkin Child. It is about a lady who wished more than anything to have a child of her own, so much in fact that she said she would love the child even if it looked like a pumpkin! To her delight, she was given a child, but soon after, the child turned into a pumpkin. Of course, she loved the child all the same. The pumpkin child grew and grew until she could no longer be carried, so she rolled around the house, down the steps, and through the village. But one day, it was discovered that inside the pumpkin was a lovely maiden.
