I’m not getting any perks for my Gymboree plugs. I just love the place because my kids love it. Every week Gymboree has a new theme and this is what makes the program so fascinating for my kids. It is just enough “new” material to keep them interested. Every week they run into the room searching for the new stuffed animals, hats or gadgets. My kids eat up this class. They are always right at the front of the pack (practically in the teacher’s lap) and participate whole-heartedly in every group activity. This week’s theme was the post office and I finally remembered my camera to take some great pics:
sorting mail
picking up packages
just having fun
weighing packages
ending class with a Gymbo stamp
For some ridiculous reason, I clean the house every night after the kids go to bed. Lately, I have been taking some tips from Gymboree and setting up some “props” of my own with toys the kids already have stuffed in cubbies. When the kids come downstairs in the morning they squeal in delight of the “new” discovery. Here are what my kids will wake up to tomorrow morning:
talking to friends on the phone
stuffed animal mosh pit
I love the setups for the kids to find. What a great idea!
Very clever! I’ve been thinking I should do something similar to make work more interesting. You know like when we’d have “unofficial” dress up days in high school. Of course, the library may not be ready for the check out girl to be dressed like an 80’s Madonna! (Although, they may just think I’m incredibly fashion forward–that look seems to be on it’s way back in…)
Karla, where did those chairs come from? Those are adorable!
