Here are some activities to make your day GRAPE! You can place this playdough mat in a sheet protector or under a piece of plastic wrap or try laminating it to help it last longer.

This story can be played digitally on your tablet or computer. Read the story and have the kiddos act out the different movements related to Spring. The movement word is highlighted along with a picture of how to move associated with it! Your kids will love this and so will you!
