With a little preparation and note making
you can turn an ordinary crafting session into a full blown story telling & role play experience !!
For example ~ ever thought about doing 'We're going on a bear hunt' through crafting instead of physical play?
BUYTHE BOOK ~
We're Going on a Bear Hunt at Amazon.co.uk
Prepare your props and crafting tools before hand :-
A 'Bear ~ see Here for Mischief mouses
Bear craft bases that can rattle !!
Narrow strips of Swishing green grass!
Tray of thickened Brown poster paint ...to let the children finger walk/wallow through !!
A tray of shallow water
Trees made from rolled paper or tubes with real leaves glued on ..
Snow globes would be great or you could use Artificial snow & glitter and gently sprinkle it over the water!
Excellent role play fun
Have fun
