Art & Play sponsored by Tropicana!

At Art and Play this month, we continued our theme of fire trucks, and did a cute, fire truck construction paper craft.  The children arranged their pieces to make their idea of a perfect fire truck, and then glued it all down. After the fun of gluing, we sang a song about fire trucks (see below) and played with the parachute. Everyone had a great time with the parachute!

Hurry! Hurry! Drive the Fire Truck
Hurry, hurry. Drive the fire truck,
Hurry, hurry. Drive the fire truck,
Hurry, hurry. Drive the fire truck,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
(For the next verses, replace “drive the fire truck” with: ring the bell, turn the corner, climb the ladder, and spray the water. Finish with the following verse.)
Slowly, slowly, back to the fire hall,
 Slowly, slowly, back to the fire hall,
Slowly, slowly, back to the fire hall,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

We had a special beginning to Art and Play this month.  Tropicana Canada is a proud supporter of Breakfast for Learning, and they supplied us with delicious orange juice as we learned about the Tree of Giving. Our little ones enjoyed their Tropicana Orange Juice, while the mamas each picked an orange from the tree. Each orange we picked this morning helped supply orange juice to breakfast programs in schools across the country courtesy of Tropicana! After enjoying the juice, the kids had fun playing a “pin the orange on the tree” game. Check out Tropicana’s Tree of Giving, and pick your own orange to help send a child to school with the nutrition they need! I've been picking an orange every morning with my kids and explaining how some kids go to school hungry and how we're helping to make a difference!
