::: something fishy


In this hot weather our thoughts turn to the beach.

We have popped up long lengths of blue material through the playroom which are reminiscent of waves and we thought we would add to the summery, beachlike feeling.

Rainbow Fish - Marcus Pfister

One of the children’s favourite books is “Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister, and after reading it to the children this week, we provided them with materials which they could turn into creatures from under the sea.

Using paper plates as a basis and lots of cellophane, streamers, felt tip pens and sticky dots, we were amazed at the variety of sea animals they invented.

Hanging them down amongst our ‘waves’ makes us feel as if we are under the sea.

And as they are under the spinning fans, they are creating some exciting movement!

  1. I am so ready for some summertime here in Indiana! Very creative sea animals!


  2. The blue fabric draped across the ceiling looks fantastic, as do those jellyfish. I love to see individual responses to resources like this!
