Popsicle Sticks, Sticky Tape, Paper & Scissors

Most of the children made a puppet with the materials.

"How do I do this?" L. asked. I showed her how to take the sticky tape from the dispenser. She decided that she'd use scissors to cut the tape instead.

Decision making, problem solving, use of tools, fine motor skills.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap. It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another. The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
