Imagination Station Classroom has been hard at work weeding and watering out garden. Kids are excited to see our sunflowers have grown 20 inches in 2 weeks and currently 66 inches, we have dozens of green cherry tomatoes, carrot sprouts, and 5 watermelons we are anxiously awaiting to grow so we can enjoy the harvest!

Healthy snacks have many benefits, including managing hunger, reducing overeating, supporting emotional well-being, boosting energy, and filling nutrition gaps. Offer children snacks that are the same color and change those colors each day of the week. For example, “Today is green day, and we serve broccoli and green apples for a snack.” This helps children get excited about snack time and combines eating and learning. Colors and shapes make food tempting, even for choosy eaters. #OHSAI #HeadStart #EarlyHeadStart #Healthysnackchoices

Why read to babies? 📙Though a baby may seem too little to understand, she enjoys your company and the sounds of your voice and words. At this age, babies may come to recognize the book-sharing routine by calming, widening their eyes, or smiling and kicking to show excitement. 📗Babies will also want to explore books through their senses by grabbing and chewing on the book. They may not pay attention to the whole story, so take a break when they get bored (looking away, arching back, closing eyes, crying). Offer short, simple stories with colorful illustrations—board books are perfect. 📕Babies may begin to explore books by looking, touching (opening/closing), and mouthing them. By 9 months, they may prefer or seem to recognize certain stories or pictures. 📘A baby may also continue to occasionally mouth books. In the early years, that is a normal book behavior and tells us that babies want to explore books! 📫Ohio families can sign up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library at https://loom.ly/6V_YDK8 . Your child will receive a free book every month from the time they are born until they turn 5 years old. #OHSAI #OhioImaginationLibrary
