We are all cozy at home here in Ormond Beach Florida...getting ready for hurricane Irma! We have got lots of stuff to keep their little hands busy! I set kids up with a loose parts open ended play activity I created for them to explore and imagine. The materials are as follows: multi color Pom pom balls, hand painted shells, multi color silicone baking cups, small wooden spoons, clothes-pin, bamboo tongs, small woven basket, small nest, 2 small metal buckets and 2 large natural shells. During their play they became workers in an ice cream shop serving me dish after dish, they became salesmen on a seashore selling me jeweled shells, they picked Apple's from an Apple tree and counted them all, we built a rose with Sun shining above to name a few things. With this activity they were able to scoop, pour, transfer, imagine, create and explore on many different levels. This activity encompasses encourages and more 😁
