Gnome Homes

During Explovery this week we built shelters for our mini gnomes in the forest.  Gathering and building are natural skills for young children and something they instinctively do.  We talked about what a shelter is used for and what it needs and then they were off.  Some children combined efforts and worked collaboratively. Others created deluxe shelters independently.  Unfortunately the cold affects camera battery life so we didn't get too many pics but here are a few of shelters in progress.  This is a skill we will be re-visiting.
