Love was in the air at the Cub Club this week! ❤️🐻

Our cubs had the sweetest Valentine’s Party filled with friendship, fun, and lots of smiles! We even had a “beary” special visitor who surprised the class with an adorable bear cupcake cake — and let’s just say it was paws-itively delicious! 🧁🐾

The cubs worked hard making their own bear Valentine’s bags and were so excited to exchange Valentines with their classmates. Watching them practice kindness and friendship was the best part of all! 💌

To spread even more love, our sweet cubs also created special Valentine’s cards for our friends at the Laurels. We are so proud of their big hearts and thoughtful gestures! ❤️

It was truly a beary special day in the Cub Club! 🐻💕

The Cub Club is truly OUT OF THIS WORLD! 🌟🐻

This week our little astronauts explored planets, twinkling stars, and even learned about the three states of matter! We put our science skills to work with an exciting experiment using baking soda (solid) + vinegar (liquid) to create a gas that filled up a balloon — talk about a stellar reaction! 🎈🧪

Our Cubs also designed their very own planets (future NASA engineers in the making! 🪐), suited up as astronauts, and traveled through their imaginations all the way to outer space.

We wrapped up our cosmic adventure with some galaxy-worthy treats — Moon Pies, Cosmic Brownies, and Sunny-D to keep our astronauts fueled for flight! 🌙🍫☀️

The Cub Club keeps reaching for the stars — and this week, we definitely soared! 💫🐻

We love seeing our cubs shine and represent our community! ❤️ 🐻

❄️🐻 We’re having SNOW much fun in the Cub Club! 🐻❄️

Since returning from winter break, our Cub Club has been busy learning, creating, and growing together! We’ve explored winter through hands-on fun with snowman name crafts, snow dough, and fake snow in our sensory bin—perfect for building fine motor skills and creativity.

Our cubs are working hard on their writing skills and alphabet knowledge, and they’ve loved diving into winter science too! We’ve been learning all about animals and how they survive winter through hibernation, adaptation, and migration.

Story time has been extra cozy with winter favorites like Bear Snores On, The Mitten, There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow, and many more seasonal stories.

We are so proud of our Cub Club for their curiosity, effort, and excitement for learning. ❄️📚✏️

🎄✨ Cub Club Christmas Program & Santa’s Workshop – Part 2 ✨🎄

Because one post just wasn’t enough to capture all the magic, here’s part two of our fun-filled day! 📸❤️

From big smiles and sweet moments with Santa, to families building gingerbread creations, making reindeer food, crafting antlers, writing letters to Santa, and enjoying cozy hot chocolate—every corner of our workshop was filled with joy, laughter, and Christmas cheer. ❄️🎅🦌

We loved seeing families making memories together as our Cub Club students proudly shared this special day with the people they love most. Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so memorable for our children.

Stay tuned—these are moments we’ll treasure all season long! 🎄✨

Today was nothing short of magical for our Cub Club families! The festive fun kicked off with our students opening the program with cardio drumming to “Jingle Bells,” followed by an adorable performance as dancing Christmas trees—complete with the special shirts they proudly made themselves. 🎶🎄

After the opening act, families were invited to join us for Santa’s Workshop, where the Christmas cheer truly came alive. Children met Santa, received presents, and even made and adopted their very own bear cub at our Build-a-Bear station. 🧸🎅

Families explored a variety of festive centers, including the Gingerbread Center, where they built yummy gingerbread house treats and constructed with gingerbread blocks, and the Snowman Center, where children made snow and played “Frosty’s Snowball Scoop” (our snowman-themed version of Granny’s Pants). ⛄❄️

Other stations included making reindeer food for Rudolph and his friends, creating reindeer antlers, and writing letters to Santa, all while enjoying sweet treats and warm, delicious hot chocolate. ☕🍪

We are so thankful for our families and the joy shared today. What a beautiful way to celebrate the season together! ❤️🎄✨

A day so packed it’s going to require two posts! Stay tuned for more…

💚🎄 “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch”… or maybe not so mean after all! 🎄💚

Our Bear Cubs were greeted at a very special breakfast by none other than the Grinch himself—and he turned out to be pretty sweet! The Cub Club enjoyed a beautifully decorated, Grinch-themed breakfast complete with Grinch pancakes, fruit, donuts, and special Grinch punch.

As the classic Grinch movie played, our Bear Cubs happily ate, laughed, and soaked in the festive fun. They even got to enjoy a special photo shoot with the Grinch, making memories we’ll cherish forever! Everything was absolutely delicious, the décor was stunning, and the smiles on their faces made this magical morning one to remember. 💚🐻
