The Inventors children have been drawing on gingerbread men (cut out of sandpaper), they used sticks of cinnamon and cloves to draw with, this was to combine things to create new effects...
There was such a lovely smell in the outdoor area.

Inventors children using different materials such as rice, pasta, lentils to create musical instruments...  


Floating and Sinking Experiment... 

The children were very excited during this activity. They collected things from around the room and were making predictions about whether they thought they were going to float or sink. There were some things that we thought would sink that actually floated and vise versa. This activity encouraged lots of descriptive language and encouraged the children to make predictions.  





















You could continue this activity at home by choosing objects to test in the bath...
