Soak Up Some Sun!

Hi Everyone! Last week at AOHC, we swapped ABCs for “Yeehaws,” and embraced our inner cowboys and cowgirls for a rootin’-tootin’ good time. That’s right—it was Wild, Wild West Week, and things got a little wild in the cutest way possible.

On Monday, we kicked things off with a sharp activity—cactus crafts! The kids did an amazing job creating their own spiky masterpieces. There were pipe cleaners, foam pieces, construction paper and enough glue to mildly panic the supply closet.

On Tuesday, our little cowpokes brought their creativity to the bandana. There were patterns, rainbows, and some accidental self painting situations (washable marker, we promise). Our friends were so happy to take these bandanas home. 

Wednesday was our big Western Wear Day, and let us tell you—our preschoolers and teachers understood the assignment. We saw everything from cowboy boots, hats, spurs, and vests. It was great to see them dressed up!

Thursday, the kids cooled off with some water play. There was puddle jumping, splashing on the water tables, and to top things off some line dancing to give it that Western twist. 

To wrap up the week, we sent home a little “chicken feed”—don’t worry, it was really Chex Mix (no actual chicken feed was used in the making of this snack 😋). Hopefully it kept the hangries at bay for the ride home!
