Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 hi anyone got any photos of what they put in there tuff spot thanks
SueFinanceManager Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Found these in the forum gallery; A messy Elmer Flora & Fauna And more flora Have to say I had forgotten what great pics of displays there are in the gallery....if you have some more to add though feel free And here's a link to a previous tuff spot conversation that might give some ideas.
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I haven't got any pics to hand but we put all sorts in ours............... animals and mats sand for pattern making water for boats the castle and knights shredded paper porridge oats cars and paint for making tracks ball and paint roll ball in paint and then roll over paper with sand and thespaceships and rockets whatever you use on a table top you can use in the tuff spot and it has those shallow sides so things dont fall off/ out you can use it for all manner of water or sand play small world play we use it as a lid sometimes on the tyre sand tray!! The uses are probably as limitless as your imagination. Featherstone do do a little book of tuff spots though for further inspiration! Enjoy!! Edited March 8, 2011 by Scarlettangel
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi not sure if you have bought yours yet but B&Q its called a cement ........? not sure what they call it but it is a lot cheaper than the soft tuff. We have one of each and difficult to tell them apart. As to what to put in it, we have had leaves, water for exploring, any construction and small world toys, dirt,soil,mud, gloop,paint, sand, we use them both indoors and out. They really are great for on the floor, on a table, they are absolutely great for everything.
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 can also be called a builders tray.. got ours from local builders merchant, really cheaply... lot less than the suppliers..
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 can also be called a builders tray.. got ours from local builders merchant, really cheaply... lot less than the suppliers.. Yep - that's what we have - it was about £4 or £5.00 from 'Homebase' - mind that was a long time ago!
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Builders tray thats the name i was looking for thanks.
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) the photos posted are mine and I also found these. The Christmas one what you can't see is that the tray is on a hexagonal table with a a string washing line around the legs so the children could hang (fine manipulation) and create pattern sequences (PSR) Not in correct order! 1. Christmas selection 2. Sequins in jelly with tweezers. Also done this with dinosaurs in a bucket of jelly for Harry 3. Damped wood shavings with diggers 4. Fine sand and sequins for Diwali fireworks 5. Flour and fine paint brushes 6. Handa's suprise with dry sand 7. Yellow and blue cornflour to make green. 8. Autumn 9. Vocano 10.Shaving foam Edited March 8, 2011 by Guest
AnonyMouse_7356 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 We made use of the snow Also bark chippings Ice cudes with salt to make models Ingredients dotted around it to make playdough
AnonyMouse_11485 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Those are great photos, Biccy! How did you do your volcano? I'm planning on doing one this week or next - I wondered what your volcano thing in themiddle is and how you added the bicarb and things?
Guest Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 thanks for all replies. would like to know how you make volcano. thanks alison
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 we used to make the volcano using a plastic tub or bottle which we surrounded by sand or playdough... for smaller ones we used a yoghurt tub , then we had lots in the same tray. we added the bicarb in the bottom, then the food colour to the liquid... we used lime juice, or lemon juice.. but usual one is white vinegar.. then just pour onto the bicarb.. more bicarb, more fizz...
