NEW BLOG POST. In August we were informed that we could begin running our summer camp program again – with some seemingly impossible modifications.

At first we fell into an all too common trap – underestimating the children. How would they understand the need to stay 6 feet apart? How would we explain sharing materials was no longer ok after a lifetime of being told to share? Would 4-6 year olds really tolerate masks during transitions? Would they create meaningful bonds with us as caregivers if they couldn’t see our faces?

Instead of giving into fear of the unknown we reviewed our philosophies and were reminded that the teaching environment is one of the main determining factors of success. If the environment is built to suit the children and situation, many pitfalls can be avoided. Once again we got to work.

GRAIN GRINDING. Grain grinding is one of our most

GRAIN GRINDING. Grain grinding is one of our most favourite activities at the studio because it does something - it takes kid power to create something completely new. Transforming a material into something new is magical for children.

In the studio, we often hear that the rice powder is sugar, fairy dust, or something else imagined. The activity then takes on a sense of wonder and elevates the simple and ordinary act of grinding into something much more transformative and engaging.

This, combined with the funnel stand, tubes and variety of containers and utensils creates a laboratory-like atmosphere, where anything is possible.
