In Science, we made our own sock monsters! We were learning about materials and the children had to select appropriate materials to use to create a sock monster – including what to stuff it with! The children explored various options for the stuffing of their toys including:
- plastic beads
- metal cars
- wooden blocks
- fabric stuffing
The children felt each option and decided which was best for a sock monster toy.
This activity also links with our D.T. learning as we had to learn how to turn a 2D sock into a 3D toy!
Can you look through the photos and find your sock monster?
