It took me a while to decide exactly how I wanted this center to be set up. Do I put the pins in the pumpkin first and then let them explore with the rubber bands? Do I just leave the pumpkin bland with a bowl of pins and rubber bands? I was unsure of the best delivery system. I changed it a couple of times over the weekend while I was setting up.
In the end I went with this: A mixture of both.
I had planned on only doing this for one day. But it was so open ended and soothing for the kids I ended up moving it to the floor and keeping it out all week. The pins and rubber bands changed constantly with each child. Even my own kids came downstairs to play with it during the evenings - and now it is upstairs in our living room continuing to be loved! So many great learning objectives going on here!
