Following on from last week’s activities of making bird feeders, the children were excited to discover that the birds had eaten all of the food and the feeders had disappeared! The birds were obviously hungry and the children must have done a great job creating their own feeders!

This week the children enjoyed exploring creating their own marks using natural media, it began when the children found puddles on a fallen tree and began to splash and create patterns on the log. This developed into the children choosing to dig in the mud and found small puddles to explore. With the children, we created natural paint brushes using twigs, leaves and string. We then collected mud in a small container and added some water from the puddle and mixed up our own paint.
