Today, we went to a play group in Sandnes called Little Stars. I found this group on a Facebook page for expat parents here in Stavanger. The ages range from infants to 5 years, but I believe Rebecca was the oldest today. I think there were about 7-8 children today, which was a good size for our first time. We were dressed and left almost on time, its a struggle trying to get these two Texas born children to put on layers with long sleeves & pants. We arrived about 10 minutes after the play group started, because I took a wrong turn, well sort of I was in the wrong lane of a roundabout and had to exit. There were only 3 other children when we arrived, but people kept arriving until 11:15a. Rebecca was a little reluctant to start playing at first and needed time to warm up. Marcus found some cars and trucks and started playing immediately.
There were tons of toys for the children in a big open room. They had a fabulous play house with a kitchen inside. It was open play until around 11 then we all sat in a circle and sang songs. There were finger puppets and then it was story time. I don't recall the name of the book, but it was about whales. Then later, I was informed by Rebecca it was about hump back whales. She really enjoyed it when Tracy was reading the book to the children. They provided a fruit snack for the children during story time, which was very nice.
Then it was time to paint blue whales. It was a good thing Marcus had a blue shirt on, because he was getting paint on himself as well as the paper. They really had a good time painting.
