The children really enjoyed trying to go under the pole in several different ways. Art Small Group Discovery Table DramaticPlay For art this week, we created our own borders and collaged the inside, make sock puppets, explored with shaving cream and paint mixed together, and did spray jungle art. • In the discovery table, we had soil as the main component with shovels, sifters, and rakes to manipulate it with. There were also plaastic eggs for the children to hide and find in the soil. For small group, we worked on sorting and matching using different shaped and colored bugs. All of the main characters in Jan Brett’s books are animals, so for damatic play we had 3 different animal habitats set up and a veterinarian clinic for the children to explore.
