Spring into Learning

This week at Watchful Eye Daycare, we embraced the season of spring with a focus on gardens, creativity, and early literacy! The children expressed their artistic side by painting watering cans, finger and sponge painting garden flowers, and crafting carrots in the dirt, bringing the beauty of spring to life through art.Our little gardeners also got involved in prepping carrot seeds and beginning the seed germination process, learning about plant growth, responsibility, and the wonders of nature firsthand.Alongside our spring theme, we continued to strengthen our literacy foundation. The children practiced tracing letters, completing sight word worksheets, and tracing shapes, helping to build the fine motor and recognition skills essential for reading and writing success.
It’s been a joyful and enriching week full of hands-on learning, creativity, and springtime excitement! 🌼🌿📖

To welcome spring, the children explored the beauty of the garden through art! They painted watering cans, used sponges and fingers to paint flowers, and created carrots in the dirt using colored paper and glue. These creative activities sparked imagination while building fine motor skills and helping children recognize elements commonly found in gardens.

Our young gardeners got their hands dirty this week by prepping carrot seeds and beginning the seed germination process for our class garden. Toddlers participated in this sensory-rich activity, learning about plant life, patience, and the magic of growth. It was a hands-on way to connect with nature and celebrate the arrival of spring!

Alongside our spring theme, the children continued developing early literacy and writing skills. They completed a “Two” sight word worksheet, traced letters of the month, and practiced tracing shapes. These foundational activities help strengthen hand control, letter recognition, and pre-writing skills—all essential building blocks for reading and writing success!
