- Why don't we all share the building blocks?
- If I show you a Christmas tree can we draw it on the paper?
- Let's do a craft where everyone has a different job! Does this sound doable?
- Can we color inside the lines with this picture?]]> 2021-10-24 18:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839676596 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839693752 Nuts, bolds, and washers can be challenging for a young child to play with but I think it can be rewarding in the end. Playing with these materials allows them to dig deep and sparks creativity to have fun. *Definitely a choking hazard if using smaller ones so be careful and watch out!*]]> 2021-10-24 18:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839693752 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839693944 Similarly to earlier this semester, outdoor materials are a great way to spark creativity and play-based learning in young children. Sticks, grass, flowers, etc will help the child very easily made a self portrait just of a face and possibly hair.]]> 2021-10-24 18:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839693944 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839694938 Painting is a great stress reliever for all ages and instead of painting on paper, the rocks add texture and a level of difficulty. This activity plays into both of our goals as the rocks make painting a bit more challenging and painting will force the child to share with their peers.]]> 2021-10-24 18:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839694938 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839705397 Everyone knows a child that likes the box better than the toy it came in and I think that is perfectly okay! The box allows the child to freely use their imagination to turn the plain box into whatever their mind wants. I think this is way more complex than playing with a regular toy.]]> 2021-10-24 18:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839705397 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839709717 A great team building and communication activity involves the use of newspaper. Asking about specific pictures will help the young children listen to each other's answer to help themselves figure out what's the right answer! Teamwork and cooperation with peers is important to learn at an early age.]]> 2021-10-24 18:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839709717 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839860114 Learning outside is such a great way to expand a child's learning capabilities and broaden their imagination. With outdoor learning, it forces the child to get outside in nature and learn something new. In this activity, we would be creating a self portrait using outdoor materials like sticks, grass, flowers, etc.]]> 2021-10-24 20:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839860114 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839864864 The cardboard challenge is popular in children older than my specific age group but we with out a doubt can pretend participate! The cardboard challenge is where children create and design something using only cardboard. For my preschoolers, I think we would use our imaginations and challenge ourselves to do the same. This leaves the child with a very broad, challenging, and deep-thinking assignment!]]> 2021-10-24 20:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839864864 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839867552 Teaching with a newspaper has so many benefits for the young child! Going through and explaining the newspaper like the city they live in, important people, events, etc. Then, allowing the child to look at the pictures and asking questions for the class like, "Is that the park?" or "Is that our school?" will allow the children to think hard and bring back past information. ]]> 2021-10-24 20:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839867552 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839871417 Incorporating nuts and bolts into an activity can indirectly help a child with their development! We know that bolts twist into nuts so we could slowly teach the child how to mimic this movement which helps with their fine motor skills. After, we can design flowers with the nuts or washers to use that imagination and creativity a bit more. ]]> 2021-10-24 20:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839871417 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839875714 Art is beneficial in a thousand different ways but isn't it neat that we can bring art and nature together in this activity? Painting rocks will spark creativity and communication skills in the child while also being a bit of a challenge. The children will have to share paint and try to talk through what they want. It will also be difficult to paint the small rock but the possibilities of what to paint are endless!]]> 2021-10-24 20:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1839875714 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848050236 Building blocks are another great example of loose parts materials. Loose parts allow the child to open their imagination because their is no set and stone design they have to create. It is whatever comes to their mind and then it forces the question of how will I create this? It is also a great form of self expression!]]> 2021-10-27 12:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848050236 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848061736 We all probably have a memory of creating a hand turkey in preschool or elementary school and I think this is a fond memory for some of us. I used to love creating art like this and I think many kids today also love art. Art allows children to express themselves in ways they cannot verbally. Creating something like a hand turkey opens up many doors for creativity and learning as well!]]> 2021-10-27 12:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848061736 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848075424 I think a sand box is important to have because it gives many benefits for the children playing in it. With the plastic molds, the child is going to have to think about how they are going to get the sand in the mold and stay then how they are going to get the sand out of the mold without breaking it. It is also going to teach them communication to share with their peers who are also in the box. It is also great for sensory as we have touch, smell, sight, and hearing all playing a role in this!]]> 2021-10-27 12:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848075424 brittting6789 https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848082420 I am aiming to increase complex play and I think puzzles are just that! They are challenging, frustrating, but fun if you take your time to figure it out! Puzzles will teach the child patience and will also force them to think hard about where each piece goes! They might not be able to think it can be done, but with all the pieces there, they'll create a masterpiece. ]]> 2021-10-27 12:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brittting6789/sxeh16b87ty7diiq/wish/1848082420
