Santa's Workshop Opens!

After lots of preparations, finally our Santa's Workshop center has opened!  The children have been playing very cooperatively in this center as they wrap, write names on gift tags, give presents, dress up like elves and just have a lot of fun!  It is great to observe the conservations that the children have in this center.  This center is sparking lots of conversations about how the holidays are celebrated in our different homes.  Do you recognize any of Santa's little helpers?

At the art center, the children used branches from evergreen trees to paint.  It was interesting to observe the effect that this painting tool made on our paper and how it felt different than using a paintbrush!
