    Lightbulb My son's daycare has movie day every Fiday

    My son's daycare is awesome and they have all kinds of activities. One of my son's favorites is movie day. They set up a concession table with healthy snacks and drinks. The kids grab a plate and pick what ever they like. They set up pillows, chairs, and couches and the kids pick their spot. The movie is shown through a projector shining on one of their walls. The picture size is 80" inches and it looks great. I asked her on the info because I wanted to buy one because it really is cool. Here is the link she gave me

    It's called aaxa p4x. Oh she also uses movie day as a reward for the kids as a group. So they have to do well through out the week overall as a group to have it. I hope this sparks some ideas!

    I put on a video for my dckids when it's a rainy or blizzardy inside day, but if it was nice on a Friday I would want to go out! But yes, a great idea for bad weather days.

    I am lucky to have access to one of the older version of these hooks up to my laptop ~ I typically use it for workshops outside my home but I do it a couple times a year with the kids and usually in the winter for a pajama day drive in movie party where we get boxes that they decorate beginning of the week and on Friday I set this up in the playroom with a sheet and so forth and we have popcorn snack in the afternoon ~ its a treat cause they do not normally get to watch anything down there and it gets nice a dark like a real 'movie' ... but I too prefer to be outside if weather is nice and so forth but awesome for a rain day / winter activity.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    What a great idea! My kids are too young for the concession stand HOWEVER, on Friday, we're doing a PJ day. While the babies nap, the older kids and I are going to make cookies. Then we're going to have english muffin pizzas for lunch and I'm filling the livingroom with blankets and pillows and putting on a movie. I AM SO EXCITED! Not only is it going to be fun for the kids, but I can stay in my PJs and watch a movie while working! lol It's gonna be fun!

    For us every Friday is PJ day; and I love it. Somehow makes the day more relaxed.
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    I only do a PJ day once a year at Christmas and we make special cookies and the children bring their favourite cuddles. I guess we should do that more than once a year!
