We made the iceberg from another piece of styrofoam. When the boy and penguin take separate journeys, the boy in his boat, and the penguin in the upturned umbrella, they miss each other on either side of an iceberg. The ocean is made from blue and green colored rice. The toothpicks were inserted into the styrofoam and voila–a sign just like the one on the book. The little “Welcome to the South Pole” sign was simply hand written on a scrap of paper, decorated with gold glitter glue, and then the whole thing was glued to two tooth picks which we painted red. We made the South Pole using a piece of styrofoam which we decorated with glitter paint to give it a snowy icy feel. The boy and the penguin sail across the ocean to the South Pole. R especially loved this stormy scene and he made lots of whoosing and zapping noises for the wind and lightning as he “sailed” the boat across the stormy seas. We used black cardboard on one side to create a night sky and added white paint and silver pipe cleaners to represent lightning and rain. We used cardboard to create a sky and wrapped it around the outside of the tub. At one point in the story, they face a dark and stormy night. The two friends share a long boat trip across the ocean to the South Pole. In his quest to return the penguin to its proper home, the boy discovers that the penguin is not lost but lonely, and a friendship is forged. Lost and Found centres around a young boy who one day finds a penguin on his doorstep. His sweet, simple stories of friendship and adventure are timeless, and his illustrations are beautiful. Oliver Jeffers is a firm favorite in our home. This play scene/sensory tub is based on the Oliver Jeffers book, Lost and Found. So here is what we created… Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers It’s all about using your imagination and making use of what you have on hand. My goal when creating this scene was to only use items that we already had in the house. R was thrilled when we made this, it really turned out so wonderfully, yet it was actually very quick and easy to put together. This play scene combines two of his favourite things – books and sensory tubs! Today, I thought I’d share a small world play scene I created with my 3 year old son, R. Melissa’s site is my go-to source of information and inspiration for everything related to kids and parenting and I’m honored to be writing here today. I am so excited to be guest posting at Imagination Soup. Hello!
