Following the 'Painting with Puddles' workshop we came inside and created the ‘Bubble Wrap World’. We arrived armed with a car full of recycled materials and multicoloured bubble wrap to make our own little world inside the nursery. We created a pink fabric square in the centre of the nursery to create our world in. Outside the fabric square the children waited with anticipation to take a peak inside. Whilst we were setting up, we could hear the children talking. Their imaginations were running wild as to what they thought was inside, one little girl couldn't resist poking her head in. When we were ready we told the children to take their shoes off before entering, they couldn’t wait to see what we had made. To enter our world the children had to crawl underneath the fabric, once inside they bounced around enjoying new materials, sounds and forms. We had many different materials including foam, torches, pieces of plastic and old wool reels overflowing into our world. The children had a fantastic time experiencing and experimenting in this new environment.
We gave the children a digital camera to record the experience through their own eyes, they took some beautiful photographs.
