Welcome to our fortnightly outdoor play link-up!
I love the way children have the capacity to think outside the square. Ideas emerge and take flight in ways that we as adults can never predict. Why? Largely because our own creativity and imagination was crushed in our formative years by being constantly ‘told’ how materials and equipment are ‘supposed’ to be used rather than being left to our own devices to experiment and explore their potential.
On this day, some feathers provided on our collage shelves were transformed into the beautiful plumage of some lovely little birds.
Our little birds flew around the playground, up high and down low.
Into trees, and out of trees.
On and off their perches.
They had such a wonderful time. Far greater potential for learning than pasting the feathers on a piece of paper.
My favorite post from last fortnight’s link-up was from:
