Spiralling out of control

Today was inspired by reading about ancient Celtic traditions.

Spiral labyrinths are linked to May celebrations so I found some spiral shaped fossils to place on our Spring table.

I have also been reading counting coconuts and decided to link a few activities based on a theme.

Here is Big Seed studying fossils for the first time and being inquisitive and asking lots of questions.

We made a spiral out of multi-coloured wooden cubes.

He followed a spiral I drew with chalk on the paper. He was very engrossed in this. ( I managed to put my washing out!)

Big Seed made spiral shapes in cornflour in a foil tin.

We went on a hunt for empty snail shells in the garden and for snail trails.

Big Seed made spirals with a glue stick and then sprinkled silver glitter on.

Spirals with paint, first with brushes then with fingers.

Finally dot to dot spirals which lead to some work based on the letter "e".
