I recently added some foam corners, left over from packaging, to the construction zone. I thought they might make for an interesting addition to buildings. As is usually the case, the children had much grander plans. Requesting something to stick into the foam, I provided them with craft sticks. Delighted, I watched as they proceeded to impale the sticks into the sides, using them to attach pieces together. Many creations came from these experiments, yet somehow I only managed to capture this one on film.
The child who made this eagerly explained his design and wished to display it in the class. He then wrote a label so anyone visiting would understand his sculpture.
Wonderful. Nothing better for children than loose parts. Bev Bos said this for decades, and she was right.
