A Broken Plate

Some of the children were playing with the crockery plates when one fell onto the floor. 

A large chip came off the plate.

"This is what happens when they fall onto the floor," I explained as I picked up the plate and put the chip into place. "It's ok, I can glue it on." I was thinking of using some super glue to fix it later.

"I'll get the glue," A. said. 

"We can use sticky tape," I suggested.

A. got the sticky tape and, with a friend, repaired the plate. He then took the sticky tape over to the home center when he'd decided to "fix all the plates" by putting sticky tape onto them.

Problem solving, cooperation, cause and effect.
