Creating




When the children reached the goal of 20 tubes they were able to build with masking tape and tubes.  We used stickers, tape, glue and many wonderful bits and pieces to create with.  One part of this experience that demonstrated how much value the children placed on their creations was to see how they used them in their play.  Noah used his "Spider-Man puppy flying car" with the play mobile pieces already in use.  Mathew, Vincent, Emery, and Noah used their "binoculars" during outside play.  We had 2 roles of tape so the children asked others the use the tape when they were finished.  Learning a useful way to measure and cut tape was used many times.  The design of the binoculars changed as children discovered more  was necessary to hold the tubes together and string was added, as well. Real binoculars will be brought into the class and we will see how the children respond to to this activity.
