A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.
This build a road painting activity for kids was definitely a favorite this month. We used a variety of supplies to make our own roads. The little guy and baby girl enjoyed adding tunnels, landscaping, and more to their road painting process art.
