Simple toys - complex play

Room 22 have been using some amazing creativity and imagination with some different objects in our play. Simple pipes have been turned into race chutes for ping pong balls and cars - made even more fun by water! We all found it very tricky to work out which pipes fitted together to make the pipe long enough to lean on the seat. Super problem solving and close observations were required.

A few sheets, some pegs and the class chairs were transformed into a garage to park the construction vehicles and later a castle that Olaf could live in if it was magically turned into ice!

It is fascinating listening to the conversations the children have while building, planning, debating and constructing. The diplomacy and problem solving to achieve something they are all happy with are great skills that life long learners need to grow and learn. 














Sand and shaving cream make a squishy, super fun and sensory experience - it is also leaves the classroom smelling super clean!
