December Happenings

What a magical time of year we are in!! AOFC LOVES this time of year because we have SO MUCH fun and everyone is filled with the Christmas spirit! Our December calendar is full of exciting activities, snacks, and visitors! So far we have constructed awesome fizzy candy cane experiments, tapped into our creative side and made bow art, gobbled up delicious elf munch and a special reindeer snack, AND we hosted our 3rd annual door decorating contest. Hard to believe we did all of the just in the first week of December! Check out all of the other fun things happening at AOFC in December! 

 Special snacks are always a huge hit here! On December 11, we will have a christmas tree cone special snack that  the kiddos will get to help with!
