Can you feel it?

The squelch and the swirl 

 

Today we had a fantastically, messy sensory play time at The Studio.
Firstly there was sticky, blue play dough with tubs of flour ; then we had some shaving cream smeared all over the windows ; along side this we had small little trays with 'just flour' in them for tiny finger play; water with bubbles and straws and damp sand. all this was topped with some seed and rice pouring.

 Flour and Dough wonder!!

 This is Nursery School Paint. It is delightful paint to use with small kiddies. Bright colours and non-toxic  produce wonderful paintings.


Painting at an easel is fun and allows the child the opportunity to engage with his painting at his own pace. he can go towards it and leave it when he has had enough. The process of spreading two or three colours of paint onto the page is a wonderful exploring. This little man has even begun to feel the thick, goop of paint. 

We had a glories time together. The children had fun with the milk bottle scoops and newspaper balls; bean bags and some singing too.

We ended our time together with Eric Carle's great book " Brown Bear what do you see?"
