Hard at Work

It was a busy Wednesday at the playdoh table. Most of the Pine friends worked both individually and and together to create all different kinds of scenes and works of art. 


B explored the playdoh by pushing his fingers into it after he smashed it on the table. He tried each finger making different sizes. 



"Squeeze!"


"I made water for the sea animals"



"This will be the grass. It's for the panda."


"I have the cutter. I made a giant stripe!"




E tested out his ability to use cutters in each hand. He tried cutting the playdoh at the same time and then using each one by itself. 




"These are tiger stripes!"


"I have to cut the stripes off."


"I'm doing them where they go in order on a real tiger."



"A duck! Quack!"



V & E worked tirelessly on making an island where the animals went when they were hurt. 
C asked, "Why are you covering them up?"
"All of his parts are hurt!"- E


They continued to cover each animal with playdoh in order to fix their hurts. The island was full of sea and land animals. E and V worked together to sort the animals into their appropriate habitat as they "felt better."


C looked at the playdoh and began making a pattern out of the trees and stars. He shared the cookie cutter stencils with nearby friends and talked about the different trees he made.

"We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
