A Week of Space Discovery and Creativity!
This week at Watchful Eye Daycare, we blasted off into an exciting space adventure filled with creativity, learning, and exploration!
In Creative Space Art & Sensory Exploration, the children painted their own galaxies, crafted salt moons and Earths, built planet mobiles, glued stars into night skies, and even created imaginative alien creatures with Play-Doh—boosting creativity and fine motor skills through hands-on fun.
Through Solar System Exploration, kids used a solar system mat, made their own planet models, and enjoyed storytime with books like “Aliens Love Underpants” and “Planets”, helping them build curiosity about the universe around them.
During Space Smarties time, our little learners practiced tracing the word “Jupiter”, worked on scissor skills, and engaged in thoughtful discussions around our space-themed puzzle, building both literacy and cognitive skills.
It was a stellar week of discovery where learning truly took off! 🌟✨
The children expressed their creativity and imagination through hands-on space-themed crafts and sensory experiences. From crafting galaxies to modeling imaginary space creatures, each project allowed them to engage with the theme through color, texture, and play.
This week, children deepened their knowledge of the solar system through interactive tools and visual exploration. They learned to identify planets, understand their order, and build a foundational curiosity about space.
Incorporating literacy and fine motor development into the space theme, children traced planet names, used scissors with purpose, and discussed cosmic images during puzzle time, combining learning and skill-building.
