Rock and roll!

In our studio children exploring different materials. Today is time to play with rocks! Very special person brought to our studio very special rocks! Those are geological samples.... They are so beautiful - some shiny like diamonds, some sparkly like gold...we have a lot of fun observing them.

there are many options what to do with rocks but children decided to create Inukshuk.

Play dough creations.

The most popular material for sculpturing in our studio is play dough. It is natural safe material that can easily turn to any creations. Today it was looking like that.

Little house in the forest

There are many different kinds of folk tales, with thousands of regional and cultural variations, but they all share a few common characteristics. At the most basic level, we can say that a folk tale is a story passed down orally from generation to generation. The action usually take place around the forest, field or small village. You can call it Dramatic play but for us it is Great Performance our favourite tales.

First of all, should be little house - like this:

Oh, sorry, this is no too little house, first was this:

Both houses, made out of card board boxes, stable enough, roof attached with hot glue, painted with acrylic paint.

Ta-da!!!

Enjoy our play!

Some decoration and props made by children.

We are going camping.

We are going camping! Who does not know how exciting it is!Just make a check list what you will need and let children collect whole stuff!

Bring some outdoor! Natural mosaic is great activity for fine motor skills and science!

Create your own camping finally!

But the most exciting activity to sleep inside the tent!

So, sleeping bunny, sleeping.....

Ginger bread in Russian style

Ginger bread usually appears on Christmas time, but Russian folk story about round bun knows every child whose parents or grandparents speak Russian. That is how we learn about wild animals, shapes and colours by using folk tale. Original tale is here
 and just watch this amazing cartoon here or here English version (I hope you will get the idea of story)!
Children play with animals, repeat words, and sing with round bun his song.
