Theme work: For children, working with themes is fun, because it makes assignments understandable. Thematic work provides coherence between the different activities.
Within a theme, vocabulary and motor skills can be learned through play.
You can draw on the table with the Woody crayon
Woody crayons can be used to draw on the table. Depending on age, this is something that can be prepared or done by the children themselves.
The Squigz suction cups stick to all smooth surfaces like a table. So here they can be stuck as chimneys on the drawn houses.
Of course this can be done with all types of Squigz, I chose the tobbz because the chimneys are nice and long.
Helping the helpers with different tweezers
Now the presents have to go on the chimneys. The children can help the Piets by using tweezers to place a pom pom on top of the squigz suction cup chimney. By offering different tweezers, different grips are practiced.
Easy to clean up
This theme work is easy to clean up and the table is also quickly school again. Children often like to do that themselves. The woody's are extremely suitable for that.
Have fun
Sparkling children's eyes and red cheeks, enjoy this time of year.
Unfortunately these squigs are no longer available, but the normal suction cup squigs or other suction cups are of course just as suitable.
