It never ceases to amaze me how strangers can come together and openly support, share and inspire one another on a website - yet it is something that is completely lacking from the Senior Management of my school.

 

I don't think you can imagine how much I appreciate this place!!!

 

Thanks to all,

If anyone is interested -

 

I have a number of early learing centre toy snails and on occasions provide the following activity:

 

A number of toy snails

Paint (shiny; mixed with a small amount of syrup; metallic, glitter)

 

 

Encourage the children to move the snails aorund the paper.

 

How do they move?

What do they leave?

Movement - jump, sneak, slide, etc!!

 

I have been known to provide extra glitter and make cling film trails across the wall in order to display the children;s work.

 

 

I also do worm painting

 

I have those big worms again from ELC and tie them to "rods" which the children lower into "paint pools" (pots of paint)

 

I then encourage the children to try to make marks with the worms on their paper.

 

 

 

I also do a hungry caterpillar snack (one ..., two... etc) adapt it to what you can find cheap locally!!

great ideas- I love the one with plastic snails and glitter glue etc slime trails! :D

 

The website for the London Butterfly House is quite good for images and if you are near enough is a great place to visit.
