Children love to explore materials on a large scale, so exploit this interest by encouraging them to express their creative ideas through a range of exciting outdoor weaving experiences. Once the children are motivated and beginning to share their ideas with confidence, develop indoor opportunities to work on a smaller scale.
Weaving movements
* Familiarise children with the concept of moving 'in' and 'out' by encouraging them to weave in and out of rows of cones, and by playing ring games such as 'In and out the dusty bluebells'.
* Introduce the words 'over' and 'under' as they negotiate obstacles, climbing over benches or crawling under tunnels.
