“Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.”

"Menos mal no me mandaron al colegio; me habría quitado algo de  mi originalidad"

Small World Space Play

Following on from the cardboard toy rocket we made last week,  I set up a small world space play!

Despues de la cohete de carton pequeño hicimos la semena pasado, preparé un pequeno mundo espacial !

If I leave the kids alone it seems the creativity of the play increases.  I often walk into the room to find it transformed into a whole new world, no play set up, no adult in-put.  Just the kids and their imagination.

Cuando dejo los niños jugar solos la creatividad del juego se incrementa, muchas veces entro en la habitacion y encuentro un nuevo mundo entero, no hay juego pre-preparado, ni adulto.  Solo los niños con su imaginacion.

“Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.”

 Ken Robinson

La creatividad es tan importante en la education como la alfabeitazacion y se deberiamos ponerla en el mismo estatus.

Cardboard toy rocket

Ever since the giant walk-in cardboard rocket we made last year broke Croc has been asking to make another.  We haven´t come across one big enough, but then browsing around I saw a toy cardboard rocket and thought it would be a good craft to try out at home.

Little hands big skills

This is by far one of the simplest and fun ways for working those fine motor skills.  3 different sized bowls and some dried beans.  

 I filled the largest bowl and poured it into the second bowl and Boo didn´t need any more input from me.
