What Do We Do With This?

    I set this table last week and the question I heard most often was
                           “What do we do with this?”

                                       My answer – ”explore”.

                      And that’s what the children and adults did.

They sometimes worked with the marks I had drawn on the paper that
                                         covered the table.

        They matched the coloured lights and worked between the lines.

Some children worked together to see what they could create with the materials.

The lights drew the most interest with adults and children.  The children liked that they could turn the lights on and off themselves. 
Tomorrow when they arrive at school they’ll find the table has changed but the focus will still be on lights.
