Ducklings Onion Sensory Activity

We did a sensory activity with vegetable red and yellow onions. We started first with introducing different forms of onions: in small pieces, slices, a quarter, a half and a whole onion. Then the children were practicing peeling the onion and some of them even tasted the onions and liked it :-). We have also introduced an onion song to the children and they enjoyed singing along with the teachers and using their body languages!

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their ability to listen, reflect and express their own views and try to understand the perspectives of others.

Ducklings: Cabbage art craft

We introduced the vegetable cabbages by showing flashcards, videos and in real. We did an art activity of drawing a nature picture with cabbages leaves, sponges, and water colors as the background. The children enjoyed using the sponges as well as using their bare hands to paint colors on the construction paper, and later they put cabbage leaves into red color to make stamp in trees’ shape which were pasted on the construction paper later on as a nature picture with blue sky and green grass as background.

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their creative abilities and the ability to convey impressions, thoughts and experiences in many different forms, such as play, pictures, song and music, dance and drama.
