The idea is to have a fun play date that also incorporates learning through books and projects. His friend's mom was nice enough to host the first one, to give us an idea of what to plan when our turn comes around. Today's theme was space, which included rocket ships and astronauts and moon rocks! And also some random playing at the end of the day!
The last three. Connor and two of the boys, getting ready to play a fun game of "Elefun," where the blower pushes out butterflies for everyone to catch.
The GeoTrax. A very fun toy that Connor had never seen or played with before. He's in the back, operating the train with the remote control. Two other friends are also there, in addition to a little brother who was along for the day.
The host (wearing his space suit, which the other boys were too bashful to attempt today) and one of the other little boys.
Group shot. This one includes everyone, if you count Connor's reflection in the mirror to the left. He couldn't be torn away from the GeoTrax train!
Craft time. The boys, with the help of their friend's mother, were using coffee filters and food coloring to create earth images, which they later glued on black construction paper. We have ours up on the refrigerator gallery!
A fun day with friends. Connor had a great time, even if he was a little bashful at first (as always). He was excited when I told him that's where we were going while brothers' were at school. And he was really excited when I told him we would do it again in a few weeks, and that we would even have one at our house sometime this summer!
