Cardboard City

Climbing into boxes, stacking, attaching and adorning. In this weeks session we played with boxes and the spaces around them and in them. All of us from the youngest (6 months) to the oldest ( 40's? ) played and created together, separately and side by side. 

This group was really interesting to document as each of the responses were very individual. One boy was immediately engaged in the boxes as a house and had a washing machine, bedroom and living room. He adorned and decorated his space and used it for imaginative play which involved doing an awful lot of laundry! Another child created a "monster truck" with pipes, tubes and wheels.  Another happily explored the materials; popping bubble wrap, stacking cotton reels, gluing etc with no intention of "making something".
