Starfish Blog: Seuss-tastic Giveaway

February 28, 2020 by Starfish Family Services

One fish, two fish, Starfish, YOU-fish!

In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday and National Reading Day, we’re hosting the 1st ever Seuss-tastic basket giveaway. Why? Reading is truly FUN-damental—especially reading aloud to babies and young children.

  • They learn to love sounds, words, and language.
  • It stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world.
  • It helps a child’s brain, social skills, and communication skills develop.

Contest timing: 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 2 (Dr. Seuss’s birthday) through Tuesday, March 3, at 5:00 p.m.

  • Winner announced: Morning of Wednesday, March 4
  • Chosen through: Random drawing from all our fabulous Facebook friends who “read” and followed the rules

What you might win: A Seuss-tastic gift basket filled with oodles of Seuss-themed items. Books, bookmarks, activity sheets, hoodie, jersey, socks, leggings, bookmarks . . . oh, my! Value = $150

How you can win (super simple rules): It’s all about caring and sharing! Simply do all 3 of the below.

  • Like the Starfish Facebook “poll” post
  • Share the Starfish Facebook “poll” post
  • Answer the easy-peasy “poll question”: What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book?

Starfish Blog: Maxwell House masterpieces!

February 25, 2020 by Starfish Family Services

Our Starfish Early Education educators come up with the most innovative projects that you can easily tackle from home with your own children. This week’s “craft-ivity” is creating tie-dye art using . . . coffee filters.

Materials (all found at your local “dollar store” or in your own home):

  • Basic white coffee filters
  • Bingo stampers in multiple colors
  • Newspaper or paper/fabric layers to protect your table

Instructions:

Take a coffee filter and fold it in half.

Fold your coffee filter in quarters.

Daub your favorite colors using your Bingo stamper

Unfold and reveal! The ink dries fairly fast.

Check out these masterpieces made by Starfish kiddos!
