Retkipäivä kirjastoon! 📚🚌
Eilen isojen puolen lapset tekivät retken kirjastoon linja-autolla ja pääsivät osallistumaan hiihtolomaviikon Vekara Varkaus -toimintaan.
Kirjastossa luettiin kirjoja yhdessä ja jokainen lapsi sai valita yhden kirjan lainattavaksi päiväkotiin. Kävimme myös tutustumassa kirjaston yläkerran eläinaiheiseen näyttelyyn 🐅🐳🦩
Retken lopuksi pääsimme vielä tiedepajaan kokeilemaan ja tutkimaan erilaisia asioita. 👩🔬🧪 Retki oli oikein onnistunut ja lapset osallistuivat innoissaan kaikkeen toimintaan! 🤩 #pilkepaivakodit #vekaravarkaus #kirjasto
Tänään otettiin ilo irti lumesta 😍
Seikkailijoiden aamu alkoi lumitöillä ja lumienkeleillä ❄️ Samalla ihmeteltiin kirkasta säätä ja tuumattiin että pikkuhiljaa voisi kaivella aurinkolasit esiin 😎☀️

Hyvä on hiihtäjän hiihdellä 😍 Seikkailijat pääsivät hiihtämään ja lapsien mielestä se oli viikon paras juttu 💯💖 Joskin välillä piti nostaa sukset taivasta kohti ja lepuuttaa jalkoja kunnes matka jatkui taas 🤭

Nappulassa laskiaistiistain kunniaksi partion kanssa yhteistyössä koko talon retkipäivä. Ohjelmassa palapelin osien etsimistä ja kokoamista, jäätulivuorentekoa, jääsaippuakuplia, mäenlaskua ja makkaranpaistoa. Lapsilta saatu palaute; paras päivä ikinä 🥰 #pilkenappula #pilkepäiväkodit #luontopäiväkoti #minäkameidänyhteisömme #retkipäivä
💗 Isovanhempien päivä 💗
Tänään saimme viettää ihanan aamun yhdessä lasten isovanhempien kanssa. Lauloimme, leikimme, pelasimme lautapelejä, ratsastimme keppihevosradalla, askartelimme ja nautimme herkullisista laskiaispullista! 😋
Jäätaidetta ystävänpäivään luonnon antimista🌲❄️ #pilkepaivakodit #luonto #lempeästiläsnä #ystävänpäivä
Vipeltäjien ryhmässä on nautittu aistiviikosta!❄️ Olemme maistelleet ja haistelleet niin tuttuja kuin uusiakin makuja ja tuoksuja, tunnustelleet monen tuntuisia materiaaleja, kuunnelleet ja arvailleet ääniä sekä etsineet piilokuvia taskulampun avulla ja lasilla kurkistaen värjättyyn veteen! 👀
