Jack and the Flumflum Tree
was Luath’s favourite book last week, we read it many times. We have done a few things inspired by the book.Made some paper boats. Jack builds a wooden boat but a paper boat sails alongside in the illustrations.
We made them on Earth Day out of flyers and sailed them in a puddle.
We did an experiment to see what would sink or float in a puddle.
I made a tom tom (a tub, cloth and elastic band) and we played it with wooden spoons while reading the part of the book they feature in. I also read in time to a beat.
We looked at the book illustrations. All the objects that granny puts in the patchwork sack are hidden in the front/back pages.
We did some play with a shark and other animals. Initially I took out a shark. monkey and birds as they feature in the book, but Luath thought more should try out our beach and sea.
(Luath is 27 months)
