It’s a ‘Put on your Gloves’ I Spy Bag
I spy with my little eye; I see something cold and white! Ah ha! It is Day Four of my focus on snow fun.
Today, inspired by the crafty folks online putting together a material version of this preschool game, I tried to create an “I Spy” or “Eye Spy” bag. I used a large Ziploc bag, various small items from around the house and a few handfuls of snow. I also typed up a check off list of the items hiding in the baggy.
It was a blast watching father and son squishing away at the snow trying so hard to find all the small objects that had gotten lost in white. It definitely was a two man game. My son lost interest before all the items were found and even my Hubby had trouble with the smallest button and sequin.
My son says he does want to try playing again tomorrow. Maybe I’ll hide a few bigger items, like his Hot Wheel cars, inside and fewer items all around (maybe 10). At least it’s easy to open the bag up and try over and over and over again.
What a clever idea! It might work to use the pretend snow you can use for snow villages too- thought I’ve never tried that. I’ve used sand before when I taught pre-school.
Thanks for stopping by my smallfarms blog! I’m adding you to my blogroll.
