One of this week’s activities linked to the Little Farmers project was the Play dough and loose parts. The table was set up with vanilla and cinnamon scented play dough (in different colours) while loose parts were presented in a partition tray that was put in the middle of the table. The children were divided into groups where while the children explored the areas, one of the groups started the activity. The groups then rotated until eventually all the children carried out the activity.
In this both creative and sensory activity, the children were left free to create anything related to the project using play dough, loose parts, farm animal toys and play dough tools. Different colours of cinnamon and vanilla scented play dough along with the other resources were offered to the children with which they were encouraged to experiment and use. Pictures related to the project were added on the table as an inspiration to help the children in their creations. The children were encouraged to use their imagination and creativity. Throughout the activity, I asked the children about their creations and what they represent. This is something which helped the children to talk more about the project and what they learned so far from it.
