Clay Boats

We have been playing at the water table for a few weeks.  Today, I introduced the idea of making boats from plasticine.  Some of the children really got into it.  They showed persistence and tried and tried to mold the plasticine until it made a boat that floated.  It was tricky business, as often their attempts did not float.  I was proud of their persistence.  It is great for Fine Motor development, too.  Good work!
