We have been exploring similarities and differences using different resources and enabling environments. By providing a broad selection of vegetables, the children at Little Elms have been making potato heads.
Using our reflective table we observed our own features and recreate them using different vegetables.
We provided additional resources to help develop imagination, like sticky eyes, sticks and pens to be able to add different features.
These are some of our vegetable creations!
This is a snowman made by one of the children.
'This is Rudolph and another reindeer!'
This is a spider! One of the children enjoyed pushing sticks into a carrot to create a spider.
'This is my daddy' one of the children said when showing some of his friends the potato creation he had made.
One child made lollipops connecting radishes to sticks.
This child made her mummy with a carrot. They added sticky eyes and used a pen to draw a smiley mouth. They said 'My mummy is always happy'
'This is a ghost' said one child
