Digging for worms at Fortview

Our children today are going to be digging for worms! We have cooked some pasta/spaghetti and have filled a tray with coffee granules to look like soil. A few finishing touches of leaves and stones has created the outdoor effect we wanted. We are encouraging hand and eye coordination and early writing skills through the use of tongs and bottles as the children will be encouraged to try and squeeze the spaghetti with the tongs and manoeuvre it through the bottle neck into the base of the bottle. The use of the coffee adds the sensory smell experience to the activity. On top of this it's lots of fun!!
