Can you explore the polar tundra and all its creatures in their natural habitat? This is such a fun and easy way to explore the polar region and the animals that live there.
In a deep tuff tray lay down white and blue play scarves to be your polar ocean, snow pour in a snow inspired sensory base to act as your polar snow. Then offer rocks, shells, water, and other natural materials. Then offer small world habitat pieces like a mountain, igloo and more. Then allow children to create their arctic tundra.
Ways to extend the play:
-Make imprints of all the footprints and encourage children to match the animals to the snow
-Read a book about the Arctic and talk about the animals habitat. -Can you match the animals with the footprint stones?
-What animals are land vs sea animals? Are some both?
-Identify the animals!
-Create a story with the small world!
-Describe the textures of the sensory materials!
Collection includes white deep tuff tray, igloo, acrylic ice rocks, polar stones, polar scenery stones, ice scene set and scarves or items can be purchased individually.
