12.01.2022 This week were learning about some innovative ways to make our own games and / toys using some recycled and other materials. Today we used some paper, and rolled it into cones. We then played a game which also taught us the value of sharing. We filled our cone with a ball, and then gently shared it with our friends by pouring it into their cones. This game also gave us opportunity to develop our gross motor and concentration!
