Using the shovel to clean the driveway this morning turned into an hour of catapulting fun for the boys. Daylan discovered that placing a stick on the handle and then jumping on the shovel made the stick go flying. What fun for boys shovels and flying sticks? We added a little measuring and graphing by putting the number of inches in a line from 0 to 300. The boys circled where their stick landed and wrote their initials. Finding out whose stick when the farthest was the boys favorite thing. This was good exposure for Daylan with numbers greater than 20 and good practice writing letters! I always try to sneak a little education into his daily play. This activity was so engaging to the boys be austere initiated the play and I just added to it. Play is always more fun for the kids when it's explored through their big minds first! Pictures to follow.
