Wow, what a Tuesday!
Making and decorating Christmas trees on the light table. This could be adapted and used on any table by making cardboard trees and using buttons, pom-poms or stickers. I encouraged the children to count, use colour names and make patterns.
At 8 o'clock on Monday night I asked my husband to nip to the garage and shape two old bits of wood into Mary and Joseph. I really wanted a large nativity set that we could put in the block area. After an hour of sweating he came up with two lovely shapes that I then had to paint. Due to the time constraints these are no works of art but the kids love them!
An interesting arrangement of materials on the playdough table. I got the children to think about what they could make with the materials below, look at what they came up with.
Some very interesting reindeer!
See you next Tuesday...
