Rainbow Scavenger Hunt 🌈
.
We did this rainbow scavenger hunt earlier in the week when we were waiting in for the grocery delivery. It was super fun and kept Miss 3 occupied for the morning.
.
I drew a simple 3x3 grid the night before and coloured in the squares roughly with paint sticks. Then I invited Z to help me hunt for colours.
.
Key skills:
✔️ Problem solving
✔️ Colour recognition
✔️ Categorising and sorting
✔️Gross motor
.
Pro tip - best done when the play area is untidy 😝
.
Thanks to @juliecurtin14 for inspiring this activity. We loved your rainbow collage plates 😍
.
May your Friday be full of rainbow goodness! Let me know if you try this activity by tagging #teachinvestigateplay ❤️🌈

Making connections with art 🌸🖌️
.
This morning we went on a great big walk to make the most of the gorgeous weather - spring is definitely on the way!
.
The cherry blossom trees were in full bloom at the park as Z was really interested in all the delights of spring, we decided to paint a cherry blossom tree when we got back.
.
Materials:
➡️ Acrylic paints (brown, green, pink)
➡️Paint brush
➡️Cotton swabs
➡️Card or cardboard (we just use recycling)
.
What to do:
Invite your child to paint a cherry blossom tree. I showed Z a photo from the park and started to draw some branches for her. She quickly copied, then added her own touches such as the grass ❤️
.
Key learning:
✔️Making connections to the wider world
✔️Fine motor skills
✔️Artistic expression

Super simple DIY geoboard!
.
This was our afternoon set-up yesterday - it was so quick to create yet and Z loved helping to make one herself. Here's what you need:
.
➡️ Corkboard (these are from IKEA)
➡️ Elastic bands
➡️Drawing pins
.
Benefits:
.
✔️Early math skills
✔️Hand-eye coordination
✔️Fine motor skills
.
What to do:
.
I set up a basic grid on the corkboard and invited Z to have a go at making shapes. There's a few variations that you can try - for example I showed her how to make her initial, but as it was the first time we just experimented.
.
Recommended age: 3+
.
Please supervise closely!
