Alexander’s Outing

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

One of the most popular Australian authors at our kindergarten is Pamela Allen. Her books are fun and bright and often lead to science experimentation. An example of this is ‘Alexander’s Outing‘ about a duck which falls down a hole and floats back up to the top when people pour water into the hole.

The children love the story, but also enjoy saving Alexander themselves – easy done with a tall container, a jug of water and a small duck.

…or a tray underneath as it ALWAYS overflows!

If you don’t have a floating duck you could use anything from a cork to a ping-ping ball.
