Today I thought I would introduce the children to magnets. At first, as will all new materials, the children played the magnets themselves sticking them to the metal cans and stacking them. When they were content with their initial explorations, they branched out and began adding metal items from our recyclable collection to the magnets creating layered effects.
As they worked with the materials, they named their creations 'robot' or 'spaceship' and began telling stories while they worked.
Some children figured out how to get objects to stand up...
and another used horizontal space.
The end!
