Tuff spot ideas relating to Health!

**JumpingJacks** · 11-08-2011, 01:34 PM

Hi all! I've got my inspection Tomoz and have lots of healthy related things planned. One thing I wanted to do was use my tuff spot, however I'm struggling to think of something health related! Any ideas? Paperwork has mashed my brain!

Failing that animals and compost will be out (RA'd of course!)

Thanks all

I have really tried to think of something - sorry I'm no help!

Fruit printing - sliced fruit and paint in the tuff spot - print, make patterns - plenty of opportunity to talk about colours, shapes, how many, which fruit they like etc etc.

Do you have any dolls? You can turn it into a looking after baby zone. Washing them, clothing them, washing clothes etc. Can talk about why it is important to wash etc.

You can make it more exciting by popping to Asda and getting different fruit such as Star Fruit and Dragon Fruit so the shape is not the norm. Also you could cut some potatoes and put each child's initial and then let them have ago with that as well. Just an idea.

You could also extend it further into a fruit tasting session with the discussion as to why it is important to get your 5 a day.
