A busy Winter week the children asked if we could freeze animals so we did great fun trying to get them out and predicting how long it would take to melt. Pink play dough was requested (no pic) animals animals animals were the main thing that came up in our weekly planning with the children. They still like their small world vehicles and add them to the activities.

Children love the stories about Pumpkins and squirrels so the wanted to make pumpkins. They painted cardboard tubes and cut out lengths with scissors, threaded them onto wool and rolled up green paper for the centre. We had handmade Autumn books , sensory shapes, woodland creature jigsaws and leaves to fish out of the water. Creativity, fine motor skills, coordination, senses, problem solving and lots of fun
