Today’s daily challenge is all about Outdoors! Here are some ideas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Create your own collage outdoors using a range of different natural resources – can you turn it into a person or an animal? Think about what you could use for the eyes, mouth, hair etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Can you go on your own scavenger hunt? Write a list of what you’d like to find e.g something green, something smooth, something hard etc. Walk around the garden (or on a daily walk) and see what you can find to match your list. You could use an empty egg box or cardboard box to seperate the different items you find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The Pre-school children on our zoom call yesterday really enjoyed creating their own ‘Name Collage’. If you didn’t manage to join us, why not have a go today?! Write your name in big letters on a piece of paper\/cardboard or even with chalk on the pavement. Use a range of resources to create the letters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Get a grown up to draw around you on the pavement with chalk. Can you add features to your body? Draw around brothers\/sisters or even mommies and daddies! Who is the tallest? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. As it is going to be lovely and warm today, we recommend lots of water play outdoors! You could add animals, sea creatures, cars etc to enhance the activity. Or simply a pouring and filling activity always goes down well at nursery! Add jugs, containers, bowls, colanders. With older children this is a great activity to begin to introduce capacity and new language for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Have a go at making a ‘Bubble Snake’. We have done this a few times at nursery and the children love it! You will need an empty bottle, an old sock (preferably a child’s sock) and some bubble mixture (just washing up liquid and water will work). https:\/\/www.messylittlemonster.com\/\u2026\/make-bubble-snake-blow\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Draw a series of shapes on the pavement or on a piece of paper outdoors. Fill the shapes with stones\/leaves etc to form them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
