We enjoyed another amazing STREAM Tinker Time. We started our session by reading the book Everybody Needs a Rock.
Next, we revisited our prior discussion about balancing things after reading Ten Apples up on Top from earlier in the week. We talked about WHY it is difficult to balance the apples on our head... they both have a slight curve. Ask your child and he/she will inform you fully on this topic. We tried to balance bean bags on our heads and found it was much easier... we could mold them to our heads.
Our challenge this afternoon, was to build a sculpture using rocks.
The level of focus was incredible.
This was tricky, but the results were wonderful!!
Rocks are a wonderful natural material for children to interact with. I had to promise the rocks would come back out again tomorrow:)
