The Infant friends are so incredibly expressive that I could watch them for hours～(´▽｀*)✨✨✨

That aside, the Christmas 🎄 crafting is coming along nicely ٩( ”ω” )و🎄🎅⛄♫

Using black construction paper, we stamp with paint and plastic containers. Then, Christmas 🎄 stickers are stuck on top. Each child has their own unique way of choosing paint colors, applying them, and balancing the design. The contrast between the black paper and the vibrant paint is absolutely stunning (￣▽￣)ｂ!

Today, we used circular cutouts of construction paper as ornaments, drawing on them with crayons in our favorite colors. What everyone is making are decorations called baubles—the shiny, ball-shaped ornaments often seen on Christmas trees 🎄. Traditionally made of metal (though nowadays often plastic), baubles trace back to the custom of decorating trees with apples. These apples symbolized the “fruit of the Tree of Knowledge” from the story of Adam and Eve, and came to represent wishes for “happiness” and “abundant harvests” when placed on the tree.

The Infant friends sing Christmas 🎄 songs every day and read picture books, deepening their understanding of Christmas 🎄. I wonder which picture book we’ll read tomorrow❓

Some friends are playing quietly, while others have their determined faces on. Their expressions are truly so rich and diverse～ヾ(≧▽≦)ﾉ✨✨✨
