Super fun! I remember my son naming a favorite walking path off a trail near our home “The Y trail” because he found a Y shaped twig on it. Children love making these connections and do so naturally when free to explore.
Fun! 🙂 Love when they see the world a bit differently than we do.
We do a lot with sticks in September, we collect them to make pictures, letters, we sort them, etc. We also do clothing in the fall. We make people usually using Popsicle sticks, clothespins, different fabric scraps, foam, googly eyes and other random bits and pieces we find. Next year we’ll add sticks the children have collected. Normally we invite the parents to join us for this activity, I’m thinking it would be fun to send the parents outside with their children to collect materials to use instead of just us proving everything ready to go.
Fabulous! I love the idea of sending the children outdoors with their parents to collect sticks. Could you do the entire activity outdoors? Some food for thought. 🙂
At the moment, we have quite a lot of snow cover, making it difficult to find a lot of natural materials. On the other hand, this last storm took down many many trees and parts of trees. I will be checking around school to see what can be scavenged. Haven’t seen the school grounds as yet, as the storm knocked out the power and school was closed Thursday and Friday!! That has never happened before in all the years I’ve been working here! I’ll keep you posted on the progress we make in collecting parts, putting together an On-the-Go kit, and then building our stick people. The study that my class is currently focused on is CLOTHING, and we have a large collection of fabric scraps on hand, a wide variety of textures and colors, so you can be sure that our characters will be fabulously dressed!
Great idea to scavenge for sticks and branches after the storm! I usually recommend teachers do this before winter–but this winter is VERY different. I know teachers that are taking advantage of all the trees down and opportunities to add stumps to their outdoor landscape. I can’t wait to hear (see) your stick characters and learn how you bring all this together in your Curriculum-on-the-go Kit. Very exciting.
Love the stick people. Going to bring supplies in we gather together out in the woods and have class make their own.
Can’t wait to see the pictures. I love this activity as the stick characters can be any size…even life-size.
