We used blocks that are designed to be used on a light table. They were made of brittle plastic that, when they fell down, made a loud noise on the Formica table. So we used a table cloth to soften the fall. After the small group of children had played with the blocks they sorted them into different types. This led them to create more 3-D creations, putting blocks together in color groups or types.
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".
