Dramatic Play: Fire Station

Theme: Fire Safety

The Caterpillar class has had so much fun in the Dr. Office. They have been making appointments, making sure their babies are well by taking temperatures and wrapping booboos!  We have also been enjoying making some awesome structures with the blocks. In the art room we have been getting in lots of small gross motor skills by using Q-tips to apply paint and glue to our paper. We were also picking up small jewels and sparkly confetti to put on top of the glue.
