3D Cube

As you can see in the pictures, I Followed the same steps and technique as for the 3D prisms.
3D Mini Town
This 3D activity attracted completely my children for about a whole hour!
Butter Beans Balancing Structures
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!
Winter Collage with Sunflower Seeds
Cut a round piece a paper and put glue near to its edges. Then, sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon ground on the circle made out of glue. When its all covered, shake the paper upside down so that the excess of nutmeg is removed. Leave it aside.
