Playtime-Bubbles
Depending on the day, we spend 5-10 minutes playing with bubbles. I use a bubble stick to blow the bubbles and the toddlers pop them. Many of my first time parents and caregivers are amazed by the bubble stick and are stopping by their local Target to pick up their own to use at home.
Playtime-Balls
We spend an additional 5-10 minutes playing with mini beach balls.
Closing Song-Clean Up Song
Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere.
Clean up, clean up, everybody does their share.
