An Important message from Anita, Early Childhood Community Consultant

v  It’s such a lovely day for a walk – how about a silly walk with the little ones today? Different animals can be a great source for acting out a silly walk – animals that you may see on your walk like dogs, cats, birds walking on the ground – favorite animals or even dinosaurs! See what you and your little one can come up with, it’s sure to be a good laugh.

Good Afternoon!

v  With the weather being so cold we want to keep our kiddos warm when they play outside – this can be quite challenging if your little one refuses to wear their winter coat, hat and gloves. Some children are extra sensitive to how things feel on their body, avoiding itchy fabrics and cutting out tags can be helpful. Dressing them in layers may feel more comfortable than one big bulky jacket – soft undershirt, long-sleeved shirt, vest, and thinner jacket together will provide warmth and lots of movement. Letting your little one choose what they prefer to wear (you can choose a couple items that are appropriate and let them choose between them) – kids start and like to make decisions about their bodies; giving a bit of a choice can make it easier for everyone! If you’d like a few more tips, check out this short post about the winter clothing battle.

v  Join the Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network on February 19th from 4-530 pm for a wonderful workshop that helps celebrate Black History; Then and Now:  Shaping the future of Black Canadians through lessons of past and anti-racism panel discussion. For more information and registration please see the attached poster!

Would you be my Valentine?

Hi everyone.

I hope you are all well and

enjoying the beautiful sunny

crisp weather we are having.

A Valentine tradition when my

Children were younger was a chocolate fondue.

Easy to do and yummy!

Melt 1 package of milk chocolate chips,

(the package you use for chocolate chip cookies)

1/4 cup cream, half and half or whipping cream

together with chips over low heat.

Cut up your favourite fruits and dip in chocolate.

I hope you enjoy!

Today I have 3 books and some songs and rhythms.

Click here to join me!

Happy Valentines Day & Family Day too!

Love Ms. Trish
