The younger ones enjoyed the sensory feel of the beans and lentils as well as developing their motor skills through using tools to fill and empty containers.
For the older children there were more mathematical opportunities including number recognition when they found the hidden numbers as well as weighing and counting. We used lots of mathematical language to describe the things that were heavier, lighter, smaller and bigger as well as counting out our beans into pots.
All this was combined with the imaginative play created by the introduction of scary spiders, slimy names and various other halloween paraphanalia!
