"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Today's workshop idea is an activity for your water table - Apple Bobbing!

It's easy to bob for apples with the addition of a few handy utensils! Make apple cutouts from craft foam, and place them in your water table along with a supply of small sieves and slotted spoons. Put a plastic container or mat nearby. The child uses the utensils to scoop apples and place them in the container. When he has collected all of the apples, he places them back in the water. You can extend this fun activity by having the child sort the apples by color (red, green, yellow) and/or count the apples.
Idea from The Mailbox, 2010
