Guest Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi What about putting cooked spaghetti in the water tray to look like worms. Make finger puppet spiders Cut out a number 8 from blak card and make them into spiders Order minibeast by size make spiders webbs by dribbling silver paint on black card put jelly in the water tray with raisins in or hide minibeasts in it hide minibeasts in sand, count how many you find make paperplate ladybirds make number lines using ladybirds add spots together how many on two lady birds etc make minibeast pizza, circle, divided up, decorate with clipart minibeasts, count how many in each section Have a tank filled with minibeasts from the garden write letters to miss muffet saying you are sorry for scaring her, talk about feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) Look at Matisse the snail http://www.tate.org.uk/imap/pages/animated...tisse/snail.htm make Snail Sandwiches A slice of bread, white or brown Choice of filling (something that you will be able to spread, e.g. jam or cheese spread) Small pieces of carrot or liquorice Trim the crusts off the bread and then spread your chosen filling so that it covers one side of the slice completely. Carefully roll up the bread until you have a log shape, which you can then slice into pieces about 2-3cm thick. Stand the spirals of bread on their sides with the edge of the bread just poking out from the bottom, as shown above, you can then add some small pieces of either carrot or liquorice to make the stalks for the eyes. Place the snails on a bed of chopped up lettuce.

Guest Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have you seen the Norfolk planning here? It may have other ideas too. We have a set of various minibeast body parts that we put out on the dough table sometimes. Not sure where they came from - poss ELC. The children also enjoy making plasticine or clay minibeasts, incorporating found objects in their creations (such as leaves, twigs, pebbles etc) Sorting plastic minibeasts Making symmetrical butterfly prints Papier mache balloons to make ladybirds Creating repeating patterns on caterpillar templates/ printing own repeating pattern caterpillars with e.g. cotton reels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Simcity Just a quick note to say that I loved the Jelly and raisins idea! We use jelly play quite a lot in our setting because we are low on resources and the children get bored easily because its the same thing all the time. I will definately try that idea when out mini-beasts theme comes along! Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cover it with a cloth so they can't see whats inside first and get them to feel and guess what it is, without looking, geat fun. We are doing goldilocks and the 3 bears at the moment, we had great fun today, we put the toy cooker in the messy play area, with coloured porridge, dishes, spoon plates etc very messy but the kids enjoyed it.
