Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I am going to ask staff to create a shiny heuristic play basket for our 3 and 4 year olds to explore. Does anyone have suggestions of what to put in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've seen people use those shiny tin foil things that they wrap round people when they've run the Marathon, to stop hypothermia - you can buy them really cheaply in camping shops or on eBay. I've just found this website which might be useful too... http://www.happysenses.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi, do children have access to the play baskets throughout the session, or do you have a specific time for the children to explore the objects? mrsW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
