To change it up a bit, we decided to add several bins of ice each morning. We squirted a few drops of liquid water color (purchased from Discount School Supply) and the children went to work.
We were only planning to set out this activity for a week or so because of the sheer quantity of ice we needed to bring in, but the children enjoyed it so much that we wound up hauling ice for nearly a month!
I just found your blog today. Great ideas for outdoor provision! I'm saving your blog on my sidebar so I can come back for ideas. I'm hoping to improve my Nursery's outdoor provision so we can use it more permanently as an extension of the classroom.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I would have loved to have an outdoor classroom when I was growing up. I feel that every kid should get the chance to learn this way. How much ice did you end up using by the time you were done?
