I would like to make a box of sounds but am having a mind block, I have: Bicycle bell squeaky toy bunch of keys packet of crisps bells pasta in a small tuppaware box The idea is that an adult will shake the item in a box so that it can't be seen and the children will try to guess/describe the sound. I want to steer clear of musical instruments as we do this as a separate activity. What else can I put in it? Ideas greatfully recieved.

Hi, Does anyone have a good way of explaining exactly why a 'creative' activity where everyone makes exactly the same thing is actually not that creative? (I'm often asked why but never seem to be able to explain it very well!). Also, is it 'wrong' for the children to do the same thing if you are teaching a skill?

In this instance the children were allowed to choose which circles and colours they used and also printed by themselves once they have been shown how to do it. Every snowman looked different - quite a few were standing on their heads or had floating heads! There still seems to be pressure out …
