Ball Pit

Our new ball pit has been a real hit a lot of children have hopped in and had heaps of fun. Oliver did lots of run ups then a big dive at the end, he thought it was great Noah watched as he did this. Max G, Sophie, Harry and Paige all squeezed in together wriggling all the balls around with their feet and hands. Max G also hopped in by himself and threw the balls around and moved his feet and Marley watches and laughs as he sees the children having fun . This is a fantastic tactile experience for all the children, they experienced swimming around in plastic balls and throwing them all around the inside play room they all showed a real sense of fun and laughter. This experience offered children ways to learn sharing, turn taking (as the ball pit isn't very big),exploration, spacial awareness, building on relationships and joining in with some fun.
