ROCKET SHIP

Yesterday afternoon I decided to go and lie down in the sun on the big crash pad. Sarah and Joaquin were extremely quick to come and join me. It's amazing how quickly children will join in an activity when an adult initiates something different. The crash pad very quickly became our rocket ship.

Sarah was the driver and Joaquin the navigator... There were big monsters around us so we had to be extra careful! Sarah and Joaquin would jump off the ship and quickly run to collect items for our rocket ship...without being caught!!

We all had a great time on our rocket ship, we laughed and talked and our rocket ship adventure unfolded around us without any pre-planning. Children learn through their play and through their interactions with others, so lying down on the mat was a great way to initiate some imaginary play!
