This week the children have loved using the mud kitchen to build on their imaginative skills while making magic potions. It was such a lovely activity where the children enjoyed making up their own potion songs while they played. They used various plants and flowers to make their potions smell nice and explored the different changes in texture and colours as they mixed everything together.
All the actions involved, such as stirring, pouring and splatting, were fantastic for developing their fine motor skills. Larger movements, such as lifting, mixing and reaching, also help to support their gross motor development and build their core muscle strength.
The role play that took place during this activity was wonderful to see, as the children worked together, shared ideas and built on their friendships. It was also a great opportunity to encourage positive behaviours and teamwork while they created their magical mixtures.
Well done, Crew Frost! I wonder wha we will create next.
