KDH Keeps Building Bridges

KDH continues to love building, especially bridges. They also are very busy using all the recyclables to create satellites, rocket ships, boats, cars, etc. Morah Sara and I decided to combine both these interests and present them with a challenge.


One morning, we set up a collection of recyclables: toilet paper rolls, squeezy apple sauce caps, cardboard, and wood chips, together with paint stirrers, popsicle sticks, yarn and colored tape. We asked the children if they could build a bridge together using these materials. Well...

In a word: WOW!!





The children set out to work and built a large circuitous bridge, traveling over train tracks, with many ramps to enter and exit at different places. There was also a boat bridge and a bridge under a waterfall. We took the bridge (carefully) off the table that they had built it on and placed it on top of a very large long box.




I brought in microcars and trucks and the children enjoyed traveling along their amazing bridge!
