Feelings activity??? re K3D175
 

My assessor has asked me to do a "feelings activity" for her next visit to cover K3D175.

On the day she's coming I'm minding a 4 year old and a 2 year old.

I've gone completely blank - can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance

shaving foam on a table top is always a good one kids love it very sensory and messy i did this for my level 2 and we still use it and is always popular, drawing faces in the foam and talking about being a happy or sad face etc....works well for all stages of development....

Thanks Loo-lar. Might be messy but the kids will smell nice when they've finished!!!!!

That's a great activity :D another one is playdough faces, rolling smiley mouths and sad ones. Mirrors are good to include if the children would like to have a go at pulling faces & practicing other expressions in..

If needed add some pasta shapes or beads to the activity so that they can be used as other facial features or hair maybe !!

have u tried gloop its corn flower and some water. when u touch it it feels hard when u pick it up it goes to water. really fun but very messy.
or other ideas i use in work could be jelly, pasta, rice, peas, water, sand play. or you could do a treasure basket where u put different textures in a boxs and let them have a feel. hope this helps and good luck with the observation

I thought you meant feelings as in emotions... and was going to suggest the teaching mitts (about half way down the page) from here -

Oops! :laughing:

Hi Sarah, you're right I did mean feelings as in emotions. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

Those mitts look great - I may have to order some of them.

Hi If you want to do a cooking activity I have a great receipe for face biscuits made out of chocolate dough and vanilla, the children can construct a face with the chocolate and have a vanilla face or visa versa, you can make the mix in advance as it works better chilled.
Good luck

Hi Nikki, that sounds great.

Could you let me have the recipe please.
