The kids have a Fisher Price little people Nativity set that we get out every Christmas, and the love to play with it. Today I decided to use it for Lil and O to make observations (to tie in science and properties of matter: color, shape, size) and to create some free art.
Lil drew a picture of the scene, and as she did so, she picked up each peice and carefully picked out the correct colors before she began to recreate it on the page. She also tried to keep shape and size in mind as she was drawing.
O used playdoh to explore. I helped him desperate the doh into three peices to represent baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
