This week we were on an Outdoor sensory experience with our Cozy Winter Senses theme box from Experience Preschool. One of our days was all about Ice- something that still resonates in my children's minds from our Snowmageddon back in February earlier this year. That was a really scary ice experience, so it was really nice to spend a day studying ice, playing with it and making new memories...
