Some of our girls brought in dolls from home, and were a bit embarrassed they were naked. I put out some tissue paper, tape and scissors, and suddenly they were fashion designers.
Brynlee: we are making dresses and skirts to dress up the dolls.
Marley: Do you like her dress? I made it.
Maddy: I'm making the bed for the dolls. Marley, can you test to see if it's big enough for the doll?
Marley: it's too small. Her head is hanging off. I'll make a pillow. Now it's perfect!
Maddy: Let's make a whole house!
It's lovely to see our girls thinking as designers, engineers and problem solvers! They are learning all about working together, solving problems, and using their fine motor and measurement skills. They are thinking in three dimensions, improving spatial and visual skills as they play.
