This week was all about *shopping*, and it’s safe to say the Pups were absolutely thrilled! We kicked off by chatting about different types of things we find in shops—from groceries to toys to clothes—and the Pups eagerly shared whether they enjoy going shopping or not. They were all bursting with excitement, and it was clear that many of them were little shopping pros already! 

For our art activity, we worked on listening and following instructions. Each Pup received a picture filled with all sorts of toys, and we named specific ones for them to colour in. The goal was to focus on listening carefully and choosing the correct items—and they did a fantastic job! The concentration and pride in their faces as they found each item and coloured it in were so special. 

Then came the highlight of the week: our own little “shopping spree.” We set up a pretend store, and the Pups each had a mini trolley to push around, filling it with various items just like they would in a real shop. Watching them toddle around with their tiny trolleys, carefully choosing their “purchases,” was simply adorable. They even had their pretend cards ready, and some of them knew exactly how to tap their cards  at the “checkout” with so much confidence—it was too cute for words! 

In addition to our shopping fun, we spent some time exploring the outdoors and had a little adventure searching for the baby bunnies under the Eco Babes house. The Pups understood that they needed to be quiet and gentle for the bunnies to feel comfortable coming out, and their anticipation was priceless. As soon as the bunnies peeked out from under the house, their eyes widened with joy, and the entire group lit up with excitement. 

 To end the week with even more fun, we had a bubble play session, which is always a crowd favourite. The Pups absolutely love chasing the bubbles, and it was delightful to see how they instinctively knew to “pop, pop, pop” them with their little fingers—and sometimes even their tongues, he he! Their giggles and happy squeals filled the air as they danced around, reaching for every bubble in sight. 

I’m so proud of each and every one of them; it’s incredible to see how they’re growing in confidence, learning to listen, and showing such joy in every activity. This week was full of magical little moments, and I couldn’t be happier to watch these little ones explore, learn, and play with such enthusiasm! 

Our Pups!
