This week in toddlers we have been exploring shape and colour, whilst also exploring day and night and how it is getting darker quicker. To combine these we took the magna-tiles into the dark with some torches! The children was very focused making their marvellous creations whilst then shining the torch into their 3d structures. We spoke about how 2d shapes like squares and triangles can join together to make different 3d shapes like cubes and pyramids. In the dark the children also got to see how light travels through translucent objects and saw their creations glow up in the dark. We then got single shapes and pointed them at the wall in front of the torch to see the shadow of the shapes on the wall! We could identify the shadow very well and one child said “wow!” Whilst another child said “it’s green” for the green triangle. This was an activity the toddlers thoroughly enjoyed and had loads of fun projecting different shapes and colours whilst looking very proud when they had built their designs! Well done Toddlers!
