"Quite simply, when we deny our children nature, we deny them beauty."
- Richard Louv
One of our toddlers has shown great interest in playing with sticks at our picnic table. Every time we go outside she heads straight to the picnic table and gathers sticks to slide in the spaces between.
To build on this interest, Miss Arigo invited the children to collect sticks from our nature area. We used our math skills and counted all the sticks. Then, we brought them all to the picnic table.
All of the children sat down and picked up a stick to insert in the slats.
Through this activity, the children are enhancing their fine motor skills and developing problem solving skills.
