What a wonderful day we have had out playing in the snow!
In the morning we were problem solving and risk assessing how to keep ourselves safe when sledging down the hill and working in collaboration to design and build a very creative “snow monster” with various loose parts selected by the children.
The afternoon children used their imagination to open an ‘ice cream shop’ and took turns to pull each other on the sledges. These children used the loose parts to make some fantastic transient art collage in the snow.
Children love the experience of playing and learning in the snow. Here is an interesting article from Community Play Things all about the benefits and how to ensure they are nice and cosy.
