Summer playdates are great especially when children get to meet their friends during the long break. The playdate being organised at BFCP meant a trip back to school and reopening the associated memories. The playdate gave an opportunity to meet parents and children from across the different classes at preschool and being part of the bigger BFCP community.
There was palpable excitement in the air which turned to glee as kids spotted the bubbles. Inside, it was like opening a surprise box, so much to play with, so much to explore. Bubble wands, water tubs, buckets, paint brushes, sand and balls. The custom multi tap water station was a perfect addition for a hot sunny day. What could be more fun and cooling than playing with water! Creative play was a treat to witness with children making strawberry cupcakes, ice cream, pizza and more using the sand. Some kids had fun finding earthworms and beetles under the logs. It took teamwork to lift the big stumps, finding the worms and putting them back in place. After asking for help a few times the kids decided to do the challenging task on their own. A sense of achievement reflected on their faces as they completed the task. The shade of the trees provided respite from the heat though the heat didn't seem to bother the kids. Eating cool fruit freezies given by Teacher Beth was a treat.
A little before noon it was time to clean up, bid goodbye and the time to wait, wait to come back as the vacation ends. The playdate confirmed that there is much to look forward to when the preschool reopens. Plenty of opportunities to grow, learn, play, explore and make friends.
