Polar Play

Last week we moved from exploring Penguins and the South Pole to polar bears and the Arctic.  Here are some of the activities we’ve done for Arctic.

       Sensory tables – one full of fake snow and other with rice.

  We built igloos at the art table using styrofoam bowls and packing peanuts.

        While continuing to build our igloo a big polar bear moved in and
                   that provided an invitation to play inside.

    We added the pillows for comfort and now its a hide away for quieter play.

               Time to be alone with the bear or to make a fort.

This afternoon I added a blanket underneath and smaller pillows.  I’m not sure if we’ll add any more jugs to the top but will focus on making a bit more of a tunnel
                                       out the front.

               I like the coloured lids on the inside of the igloo.
