Wow! It’s been an awesome week at AoHC! We spent the week learning about different types of textures and the way they feel. On Monday, the classrooms explored with shaving cream. How many things can you make out of shaving cream? On Tuesday, there were water beads (orbeez) available at pick up for you to take home and explore with by watching them grow. Wednesday was a day full of dancing and painting! Our friends were able to paint with their dancing feet. Does the paint feel squishy to you?

- Enhances memory
- Great for calming strategies
- Fosters thinking, creativity, and problem solving
