ACTIVITIES AT HOME

Den building

During these times of staying safe at home, why not build yourselves a den!?

Den building promotes many Characteristics of Effective Learning, such as:

*Thinking of ideas and testing them

*Finding ways to solve problems

*Finding new ways to do things

*Planning ahead and changing strategy if needed

*Engage in open-ended play

*Keeping on trying, persisting with a challenge

It’s fun, exciting, great learning and doing experience and promotes speech/language, role-play imagination and can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Let’s get building!
