Indoors the trains have been neatly organized in the tubes instead of the block bin with the train tracks. It was not my idea but I like it :-)
That is the only indoor picture that I have because we’ve been playing outside most of the time.
All the loose parts have provided endless opportunities for creativity and symbolic play. These ‘eggs’ are neatly arranged by size;
Of course there were many picnics and restaurants;
The little tree cookies were used to create paths between and around the larger stumps;
There was an ice cream shop with a wide variety of menu choices;
A grand pony expedition – I love that these children can use action figures creatively without following a movie script;
There was also an elaborate dramatic play activity involving the whole group. The main characters were ‘sabre tooth grizzly birds’ and since I had trouble envisioning what they would look like I asked for a picture of one;
This picture was made possible thanks to an accessible outdoor art area.
I also asked them to make a list of art items they’d like to have available. There is plenty of paper so I was a little surprised by the size of the list they made;
Even our outdoor snack time has been a creative activity;
And finally, this little pine cone family has been waiting patiently all weekend.
I wonder what they will be doing when the children return…
