Baby dolls and books: Infants, Toddlers and 2's

The 2's class read books to their baby dolls  

It's cute to see the babies siting in laps  :-)

Hi Gio!

I brought a basket of books and babies to the infant room  :-)

Molly found a baby!

Noelle has 2 babies.  

 Anna and her baby are both looking at books on their tummies

Its a baby book party!

The toddlers were excited to check out all the books

So many books!

It's cute to see all the friends with their baby dolls

October!

 

The Toddlers had fun smelling the flower. This is a great way to introduce deep breathing.

 

I brought a breathing ball and a few bugs with springy wings.  

We tried a few Halloween poses......

We also practiced the conscious discipline breathing techniques. For the "Pretzel" I tell the kiddos to give themselves a big hug. Logan was showing me that he knows how to do it "the real way."  (The real way can be a bit tricky for this age)

The drain breathing is one of my favorites!  

 We practiced belly breathing using mini pumpkins.

We used paper plate pumpkins and pretended they were steering wheels!

We tried to slide around on these little pumpkins too.....it was a little tricky, but we had a blast!

We sat on the paper plate pumpkins and I brought out a large drum. When I tapped the drum slow we kicked our feet slow.....When I tapped the drum fast we kicked our feet fast!   They did really well with this.

The 4's were surprised that every yoga mat had a yoga pose or a breathing card underneath it.  They each took a turn showing what pose or breathing card they had. By the time we were done we practiced 10 Halloween poses and 4 breathing exercises! 

The candy corn pose is so silly. We pretend someone is taking big bites out of us as we shrink down to the ground.

I made a little pumpkin path for the 3's class to walk on!

It was pretty fun getting to step on all the pumpkins  :-)

 

 

At the end of class we sing the "Wishing Well Song" and the kiddos get to drop a kindness coin in our little wishing well.

We also took our babies Trick or Treating!!

(the kiddos were moving around so fast, and the lights were low so several of the pictures turned out pretty blurry...)

I had trick or treat stations set out all around the room........

After taking our babies around it was time to feed them their treats!

The 2's had lots of fun trick our treating with the babies!!

They really enjoyed the "special spooky lights"

 The 3's thought it was funny that the babies had little "hats" on

It was so cute watching them take their babies around!

We fed our babies the treats! 

The Toddler friends played with the baby dolls.

Hmmm... What can we do with this blanket?

Where is the baby?

The infants said "Hi" to the babydolls
