Made this nature &#8216;window&#8217; with the kids I babysit today. We walked around the botanic gardens collecting different things, talking about their different colours and textures.  When we got home we dropped them onto the contacts sticky side and then when we finished we cut some more contact the same size and squashed it all together.  We spent a long time looking at all the things in our window together.  We plan on putting a hole in it with the hole punch and putting some string so we can see the sun shine through it :) I think you could do the same kind of things with different places.  Like the beach you could collect dry seaweed, sand and small shells&#8230;and then you could have multiple windows :)

I love painted rocks.  There are so many ways to use them, you could:

  • Paint different characters on them for dramatic play indoors.
  • Scatter them throughout the playground/ garden to inspire play or spark imagination.
  • Paint words on them to use in english lessons.
  • Use them in class activities- eg pick a rock as a topic to write about.
  • Get the children to paint their own rocks for art class
  • Use them for behaviour control or for discussing emotions. 

SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THEM! LOTS OF FUN!!

I love this idea of creating little boxes you can open with mini worlds inside them.  Would be a really fun project to make up a story and build the box around the story over time.
