While we were outside today a few of the Tel Aviv we noticed that there were TONS of toys from our playground on the other side of the fence. They were everywhere! We decided that something had to be done. So...we went on an adventure! We left the playground and walked along the outside of the fens and went on a hunt to find all the toys that were scattered around the woods. The toys were on a huge hill and we talked about ways to go down the hill safely. Eli suggested bedding down while walking. Jacob tried scooting on his bottom which quickly became the preferred method of transportation. I love seeing how careful the kids are when they approach new or different risks in the outdoors. It is important that they are able to asses their own ability to travel through a space in a safe way and this Tel Aviv group has had enough experience outside in the woods that I can see that they have grown tremendously in their ability to asses the risk in outdoor activities. They were excited and enthusiastic about collecting the toys and throwing them over the fence. In no time the area was clean and I had ten out of breath Tel Avivers who were exhausted from climbing a very big hill. Thanks Tel Avivers for helping clean our woods and returning all the toys to the playground!
