Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Do you have a wilkinsons near to you. I don't think they would cost much from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Was in Ikea last night and they have a set of three wooden spoons/spatulas for 49p. One looks more like a fork, and there's a spatula with holes in as well as the traditional looking wooden spoon. But I thought they might make more interesting puppets because of their quirky appearance! Not sure how useful that is - but any excuse to go to Ikea if there's one relatively near you is a good thing as far as I'm concerned...

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Simcity,Perhaps you could put out a plea fordonations of old wooden spoons just class, group, or school, whatever and then get some cheaper ones in to supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 If you're ever looking for other activities to do with spoons, we did a really good topic on "Spoons" afew years back, based on some ideas in Penny Tassoni's book "Planning for the Foundation Stage" - both staff and children loved it!

Guest Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Asda 19p Hi Wolfie, what kind of activities did you do with your spoons ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Off the top of my head...... Children brought in different sorts of spoon from home - got some really unusual ones and got lots of lovely chat and language about them Lots of messy mixing activities with different sizes and sorts of spoon - always popular! A maths game where we threw the dice and then counted soonfuls of something into a cup until someone reached the top - lots of thinking about what benefits using a bigger spoon would bring! Kim's game with different sorts of spoon Music making with wooden/metal/plastic spoons Tasting spoonfuls of different things Cooking activities using spoonfuls as the only measurement Egg and spoon races - again offering them a variety of spoon sizes! Scoops and spoons in the sand and water Looking at this list it doesn't look particularly inspiring but the children LOVED it! And the parents enjoyed looking for different sorts of spoon at home..seem to remember some Welsh Love Spoons making an appearance, is there some kind of tradition involved there?
