victorian village day care

Before our hot summer days disappear, get outside and have some fun with a sprinkler. The kids at Little Dreamers have been enjoying a sprinkler down the street outside of the OhioHealth Medical Offices here in Victorian Village. And it inspired us to pass on a fantastic sprinkler game.

Age: 3 and up
Number of children needed to play: at least 2, but this is also a great group game
What you need: a sprinkler and one cup for each player

How to play:
1. All the children stand around the sprinkler.
2. When the water passes into his or her side, each player tries to be the first to completely fill his or her cup.
3. Players must keep both feet planted. Anyone who takes a step has to dump the contents of their cup over their own head.

Thanks to the Wooden Porch blog and Family Fun Magazine for this fantastic game idea!

Did you know 70% of the ingredients used for meals at Little Dreamers Big Believers day care is organic? It’s just another reason why Little Dreamers is the choice for so many parents looking for child care in Columbus, the Short North, Victorian Village and Grandview.

In honor of everything wild, and our field trip to the Columbus Zoo, this week’s Book of the Week is Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.

Reading out loud is one of the most important activities parents, teachers, and care-givers, can do for our kids. At Little Dreamers, Big Believers Day Care we read daily to the children and often have special visits to or from area libraries.
