As you will have already realised by now, Cheeky Monkeys were obsessed with balls and so after all the previous experimentation; which saw balls literally zooming through the air, it was time to experiment in a different way! This time much lower to the ground and instead of using light plastic balls it was time for little hands to get rolling heavy, cold, colourful, icy painty balls!
The children rolled them down ramps and around trays and they watched as they made marks as they travelled about the paper and were fascinated as the balls decreased in size (as they melted) too.
By following the children’s interests and incorporating balls the Cheeky Monkeys Team were also able to draw in some children to experiment with paint and mark making who may otherwise have chosen to avoid such a messy activity being on offer…
We love to follow our children’s interests and broaden their depth and understanding as they experiment, explore, investigate and learn through play across the curriculum in THE MOST exciting Jolly way!!
