Play Pieces: November 2015

November play moments from Play Local and The Shop of Possibilities included...

 

Wearing some interesting headgear...

...and performing with them!

 

Fitting into some small spaces

Balancing as many rolls of tape as possible

Playing office

Crocheting tiny hats

Fixing a broken chair...

...and smashing a broken keyboard...

 

...into hundreds of tiny pieces!

Decorating our face with tape

Learning how to use a hammer

Making a skateboard slide

Wrapping up warm

Playing with water

Dressing identically

Being a chef

Painting on fabric

Flying a giant kite

Building a colourful den

Writing our names in tape

And attempting to climb a little tree!

Wrapping ourselves up in silver piping...

...and falling over in silver piping!

Plus a spot of night time tug of war!

Pop back next month to see the next Play Pieces instalment!

 

String & Swings

We all still love a DIY swing at the Shop of Possibilities, and here's a nice little development on the tree swing idea...

 

Moving Water

Looking back at photos after a couple of weeks have passed sometimes reveals patterns of play that you don't notice on a day to day basis. Here's one child's exploration of water over a couple of separate Saturday sessions at the Shop of Possibilities.

 

 

 

 



Leaves

As autumn arrives and the leaves begin to fall, the children take it upon themselves to do a bit of sweeping around the outside of The Shop of Possibilities.

 

 

Play Pieces: October 2015

October is over already! So here's what we've been up to at The Shop of Possibilities and Play Local throughout the past month...

 

We almost dressed up

We look the living room outside

We washed the windows (made the windows much dirtier!)

Made some abstract chalk paintings on the floor

Blocked ourselves in the Shop of Possibilities

Got quite excited about our drawings

Climbed on stuff

Made Lego sculptures

Watched a film

Fought each other with sticks



Found fun ways of pouring water

We touched the ceiling

Went fast on the go-karts

Created a fun throwing game

We carried on using leftover materials from the gallery

Played tug of war

And made some Halloweeny spider webs!
