Wet Foam Activity

Imagine a tub of water, foam shapes and a huge sheet of acrylic.  There are no rules or certain ways to engage.  A child led activity houses it's own learning experiences.  See how an old bathtub, playtime favorite sparked a new way of playing outdoors on a hot day.

Here are a few ways the children explored with fun, wet, colorful shapes.

 

They sorted by colors and....

they created familiar shapes.

They worked in solitude and...

they worked as a group.

This activity lasted about 40 minutes of contiuous designing and engaged conversation.  Kids love new ideas brought back to life from old ideas.  Never think that just because they've done it before that it can't be done again. 

Until next week at PattyKakesKidz!
