Today’s videos are from Erin and Shona. They have both enlisted their lovely children to help them. so many thanks to Ollie and Finn and also wee Mila. It is so good to see children enjoying their learning and having fun. We really hope your wee ones enjoy it too.
Junk Modelling
In her video Erin outlines the amazing developmental benefits from making objects from junk. Junk modelling really gives the brain a workout as children decide what can be made, how they can make it and how exactly they are going to use it. The language skills they practise while modelling and playing can be quite amazing and imagination is exercised to the full. Please keep all your boxes and cartons and tubes and bottles – combine them with some cellotape, glue and scissors and let your child amaze you. (You can always recycle their masterpieces as they build their next one). We would love to see photos of the things you build – we can put these on the blog to inspire other wee builders.
