Have some scrunchy crunchy fun Activity
Our natural environment is full of inspiration for our tamariki
- Have fun and enjoy exploring places and finding things.
- Building language skills around how things feel and what we hear.
- Participate safely in an activity that can be enjoyed in a variety of places by a range of whānau members of different ages.
- Enjoy being outside with whānau at the beach, river or lake, which is sure to be a rich sensory experience that they will remember vividly.
- Build their physical fitness and strength at the same time as their skills and confidence.
How to do it
You’ll need: Autumn leaves and your walking shoes or gummies.
- Head out for a walk, get outside, or visit one of your favourite parks.
- Scrunch and crunch your way through the autumn leaves.
- Throw the leaves into the air then watch them float to the ground.
Great idea: If you take a change of clothes getting wet won’t matter at all!
