Throughout the week the children have been getting very excited about Halloween so today we decided to incorporate this in to the sensory area. We put some cornflour on the trays and selected a variety of mark making tools. Then we set about making our creepy creations…
“I’m making triangle eyes.”
“I’m making a spooky pumpkin with one circle eye and one triangle eye.”
“I’m making a spider and he’s coming after you!”
One of the boys experimented with moving the flour with the stick and realised he had made a bat wing! We experimented some more and worked out how to make two wings. He then took his time looking at the bat toy and added more features like a head and feet. Excellent work!
Some of the other children experimented with tracing around the Halloween toys and created some excellent pictures.
“I’m making a spider with only two legs and a pumpkin on his head.”
“My pumpkin has a silly face.”
Fantastic mark making and creativity skills from the children today!
