Guest sn0wdr0p Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 We are planning a trip to see The Croods during the school holidays and I want to theme the week around this. I am planning activities for 4-11 year olds but really want to avoid dinosaurs as they weren't around at the same time. So far I have thought of cave painting (think Lascaux) , baking soda volcanos, making caves in our small world with rocks, fossil paining, Mammoth models with lots of wool. There are lots of colouring activities on the Croods website but I really want to do something largescale as well. I may also take them to the local museum where there is a lifesize wooly mammoth (if time allows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 How about them finding ways to transport large objects and do wheel experiments using different shapes, rollers and simple wooden wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 What a good idea. I can already picture the children who will love trying to move a large object from one side of the playground to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for this. We're doing 'caves' at the moment in response to their ideas for long, long ago and I was a little short on inspiration! We made a cave role play area today and will definitely be doing rock buns later in the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
