Extending creativity
At BestStart Foxton Beach we are always extending upon our children's interests. One of our boys is Malcolm and he is really into creating stuff so we got some big boxes to extend this, talking about what he could create. Malcolm decided on a plane.
Together we discussed what a plane needed and made a plan of the different things we would need to make or find. Once we had collected what they could find they started to create.
Malcolm directed his friends and teachers about what needed to be done and slowly but surely the plane began to take shape. By the end of the day we had a plane that was ready for paint.
The next day Malcolm and his friends painted the plane in an awesome blue colour. Malcolm has done an amazing job and had been a great friend letting anyone who wanted to help be involved. Malcolm then shared his plane with the rest of the children as a new dramatic play resource at the centre. What an awesome experience for everyone to enjoy!
