Bugs & Creepy Crawlies

Children of all ages are fascinated by nature. Students can create their favourite bug or creepy crawly while learning about their form and segments. This is a great opportunity for younger children to practice their cutting and stapling skills; and older students to explore the properties of our salvaged materials to select the best materials to replicated key parts of a creature’s anatomy such as legs, wings or eyes.

Child-led exploration and learning is an important focus of educational frameworks. Our Loose Parts Play workshops encourage children to move, stack and manipulate to help build their basic invention, divergent thinking and problem solving skills.
Materials are chosen for properties such as texture, receptiveness, transparency, shape, ability to stack and safety.

In this workshop, designed to foster the foundations of scientific inquiry, children will work together to build a group wind chime.
Children will be encourage to explore the properties of our salvaged materials – asking themselves the questions: Is it hard, soft, flexible, rigid or waterproof?
This informed decision-making process will also assist children in deciding what tools to select when manipulating their chosen materials.
