MATERIALS
- Imagination only
HOW TO
- Skilly-spark: Begin by naming an inanimate object that has outside forces causing it to move or change. Here are some ideas to help generate your own:
- An orange that’s being peeled
- A vine growing over a wall
- An ice cube melting
- A cloud drifting through the sky, slowly changing shapes
- Smoke coming out of a chimney
- A rubber ball bouncing along the ground
- A boat being tossed by the water
- Ask your child to show the shapes and movement of the objects.
- Creative movements are fun to do inside and outside. You can join in the fun, too-- why not?
Keep the fun going
- Flip the script! Ask your child to come up with objects in motion suggestions for both of you to do.
