- This week has been packed with sensory adventures and outdoor exploration! Using a Tuff Tray, we created a bustling farm scene filled with hay, mud, and water, which the children loved manipulating with small-world animals. Using dry sand with red powder paint the children created a “pig mountain” and active volcanoes by building, shaping, and creating small-world scenes. To build on our messy play, children stepped in paint to make colourful footprints across a large roll of paper on the floor—a great way to explore sensory textures and mark-making. Inside children used cardboard reels to print patterns on by pressing onto blobs of paint.
- During our trip to the allotments, we made nests using grass cuttings and twigs, focusing on fine motor skills and using natural materials.
- At the park children enjoyed the seesaw, swings, snack, and playing with dinosaurs in large clumps of mud, engaging in imaginative small-world play.
