Butter Beans Balancing Structures

by

These structures leave children explore their vision and their creativity. I only demonstrated the technique insisting on the fact that a structure/building has to balance itself in order to stand up, otherwise it collapses. Then, I let them free to create their own balancing structures.

3D Prisms

We all know how difficult is to ‘teach’ the 3D shapes to young children. In time, I discovered a way to do it, actually to ‘watch’ it as the children will create their own 3D shapes so that they understand the difference between them and the 2D ones.

Dandelions Collage

If you go in the park or in your garden, its impossible not to find some dandelions that you can collect and then make any collage you can think of, using them. First of all, its an opportunity for a toddler to learn more words and concentrate on one things when he goes for walks, and secondly, once the collage is done he can tell everyone that he collected the plants and then he made the card!
