Playgroup started out normal for us with Landon's shameful-shy entrance. We started out with circle time with the kids picking a picture to indicate with nursery song they wanted to sing. Next we moved into play-time with a big bucket full of different textured items with empty bottles and spoons to fill them up with. He started with hand over hand placing the objects into the bottle, eventually that became a bore to him so I moved him over the play-mats area where he started crawling around exploring his surroundings and crawling in and out of the tunnels, but only after all the other kids crawled out.
We finally moved outside to the play area where he wanted to get into his favorite ride-on toy. After several back and forth movements he was ready to get out and wanted to walk around.
We ended playgroup with singing of our good-bye song.
