Master E is right into Imaginative Play at the moment and is often roll playing. With a love of all things construction and vehicle related I set up this small world play for him and of course Miss M!
 |
| We started with a large low sided tray which I filled with our Rainbow rice (this has been the basis of many play sessions, usually cooking!) Here is the link on how to make the Rainbow Rice. I then added a few construction vehicles a digger, some dump trucks and trailers. |
 |
| There was a lot of filling and emptying going on. |
 |
| We filled up all the trailers and drove them around the construction sight. |
 |
| Master E found it hard to scoop the rice up with the digger and enjoyed the sensory experience of using his hands. |
 |
| Once Miss M decided to join in we found that we were short of vehicles so we added in some workers. Who apparently needed a rest! Miss M then decided we needed to have planes and helicopters too! |
 |
| Miss M busy filling up a trailer. |
 |
| The digger was busy "Digging a BIG hole!" There has been a lot of construction work near our house along the railway lately, so we have had lots of opportunities to watch what the construction vehicles are doing which made for some great role play and conversation. |
Like with our other Small World Play there was a lot of play generated from this activity more than half an hour (a long time for my almost 3 year old and almost 2 year old).
We did plan this one well and placed a plastic mat underneath the tub for an easy clean up of any spills. This was very popular and as will all our rice activities the rice was packed away to be used again soon!
