Today in the Garden, the children have been creating their own Christmas decorations for the outdoor tree!
We had lots of pine cones so we decided to use some glue and some sparkly sand to create our very own Christmas baubles…
First we used the PVA glue and glue spreaders to make our pine cones all sticky!
Then we used some special Christmas sparkle to brighten up our pine cones and make them into our baubles for the tree.
”Shake shake shake so it comes out the top”
”It looks like snow on it”
Then we had to use our concentration and our fine motor skills to tie the ribbon around the tree so that our decorations would hang for everyone to see!
”Look at mine! I did it myself, I have a green ribbon on mine too”
Wouldn’t you agree that the children done a wonderful job of their decorations…have a look at our fabulous tree in our garden!
Throughout this experience, the children have been developing their creativity skills, imagination and their ability to work with different materials to create a piece of artwork.
