Ramps and tunnels - October 20, 2016

On Monday I put out some cardboard pieces in the block area. I left them there to see how the children would use them. This morning was the first day they noticed them. They started to use them as ramps. We added some tunnels and other wooden ramps to the cardboard ramps. They had a whole obstacle course build within minutes.

We all had to wait our turn so we decided to make a line so we knew who was next.

What a fun way to spend a morning.

Geese - October 18, 2016

This morning some of our friends noticed a flock of geese in the field of adventure playground.

Our friends were very cautious as we crept across the field closer to the geese.

Soon we were very close and the geese started to take off.

One of the children yelled "they fly in a lineup!"

When we reached the end of the fence the children lined up on the bench and all jumped off at the same time.

We hope the geese come visit again soon.

Vacuum - October 13, 2016

This morning outside in Adventure Playground the two boys found this long piece of plastic. One child looks at the other and says "Hey this is our vacuum cleaner." The other child says "Oh ya it looks like my vacuum at home." The two then worked together to suck up the leaves that were on the ground.

Using the vacuum to suck up the leaves that were around the yard. When they got stuck the two children figured out if they bang the hose on the ground the leaves would come out.
