Following on from the interest caused the other day when the children were painting sticks collected from the play ground, today the focus switched to rocks the children had collected from their dry creek bed.
Not only did the children have …
‘The BEST fun ever!”

We are Sherry and Donna and together we welcome you to ‘irresistible ideas for play based learning’, a blog designed to inspire and assist Teachers who follow a Developmental Curriculum, Tertiary Students of the Early Childhood Sector and Parents of children in the Early Years.
While teaching preschool together our mantra was “Make it Irresistible”. As it is not always easy to find exciting, irresistible and appropriate play based learning ideas for children in the early years, we would like to share with you some of the ideas our students have enjoyed over the years.
We hope you gain pleasure from what we have to offer. We invite you to view our complete profile here.

Excellent idea and the play scene is wonderful!
::: Thanks Maroula … The children certainly had a ball with this one.
This is so inspiring. I love the vibrancy of the paints. What sort do you use?
::: Val, this is just regular poster paint BUT the children used the fluorescent colours!
Hi, what age do you think this would be best suited to? Thanks
::: Any age at all Charnel. All children love to play with paint!
