Fixing the Play Sink|Dramatic Play

I loved the creative dramatic play the boys came up with all on their own when one of them discovered the faucet knob on our play kitchen could be unscrewed. They enthusiastically started trying to fix it and asked for the play tools {which were not out at the time}. It was fun to watch them use play tools in the way they’ve seen real tools being used and how serious they were in their play to fix the sink. The working together, communication and FUN was excellent and really couldn’t have been planned.

I’ll be on the lookout for other fun “fix it”/problem solving projects for my group. I found a few fun ideas to try:

• Invention Box
• Can You Fix It? science center
• Fixing Plates & Utensils
• Let’s Build activities for kids
