Ms. Katie observed the children placing scarves and sheer fabric on the play structure. After speaking with the other teachers it was decided to bring short ribbons and see what the children would do. Some children placed the fabric in the small openings of the structure while others used them as capes. Young children always have new ideas on how to use materials therefore bringing items out that have multiple purposes allows children to be creative. This is a simple and fun activity that promotes problem solving skills creativity, patience, and fine motor skills. Here a few pictures of the children playing with the ribbons and scarves.
