It's spring, and our "Look at Me, I'm Three!" participants are growing so fast! So it was only fitting that we had a flower-themed May meeting on Wednesday!
The group practiced some relaxing mindfulness, then read the silly story "Grow Flower Grow!" by Lisa Bruce. In the story, Fran tries to feed her flower spaghetti and pizza to make it grow!
Then, it was craft time! Attendees made a paper craft, and also planted flowers for themselves (sans spaghetti). As they keep growing, those flowers will grow with them!
Mark your calendars! June 4th will be our last "Look At Me, I'm Three!" for the school year before our friends head off to Pre-K in September!
