Paper Plate Shakers

This week the children have made paper plate shakers. This activity took them a couple of sessions to complete, this helps them to understand that not everything is instant! They chose their own colours for painting, mixing colours to make new ones like, pink, purple and orange. They had to fold and crease the plate and then use the stapler. Our stapler was a little tricky to use so they had help if they needed it, and then, before it was completely sealed, they scooped up rice and poured it inside. Once it was completely sealed the children used their shakers in our phonics activity.
