Little Clusters Update…

 

This month in Little Clusters we have enjoyed making lots of different crafts. We have been blowing bubbles in paint to make some bubble art on our paper (we were very careful not to suck up the paint!). We also made some autumn trees by using a cork as our stamper and different autumnal colours for the leaves; Using the corks helped us develop our fine motor skills and we named all the different colours.

We have enjoyed exploring the garden in all the different types of weather that we have had. We especially enjoyed putting our wellies on so that we could run around in the rain! While in the garden we had some bug hunts, trying to find lots of different bugs by lifting logs (with an adults help of course), digging in the mud where we found worms, and looking in the leaves of the trees.

Another way we developed our fine motor skills was by emptying and filling jugs with conkers, using tweezers to pick up the conkers and then putting them into the different coloured jugs.
