Play School (1966)

Mini Beasts (2) (286x2)

Data di messa in onda: Lug 02, 2013

Series 286: Mini Beasts We see insects and other small creatures almost every day of our lives. These “mini beasts” are one of the first introductions young children have to the natural world. They come in countless varieties, shapes, colours, patterns and sizes and are celebrated in favourite pre- school nursery rhymes, such as “Incy Wincy Spider”, “Ladybird, Ladybird” and “The Ants Go Marching”. In this series of Play School, we explore “mini beasts” through craft activities, play, songs and stories. We are also visited in studio by some real-life insects: slaters, snails, worms and even a stick insect! Episode 2 PRESENTERS Michelle Lim Davidson – Teo Gebert PIANIST Peter Dasent TOLD STORY The Frog Gobbler (A story told by the Play School team) FILM Honey Farm (Play School, ABC) IDEAS FOR LATER Play a bug dress-up game with a friend or family member. Use your body, imagination and some simple items from your dress-up box to transform into a bug. For example, put a yellow towel around your shoulders and “buzz” around like a bee, or, get into a sleeping bag and wriggle on the ground like a worm. Your friend or family member has to guess what kind of bug you are. Make a paper plate frog. Paint a piece of A4 paper and the bottom of a paper plate green. Once dry, place both hands on the green paper, ask someone to trace around them, and then cut out. Stick the two handprints to the bottom of the paper plate for legs. Add two sticker dot eyes and a long, red, paper tongue. Eat some honey on toast. Yum! SONGS Round and Round and Round Composer: Colin Buchanan Publisher: Rondor Come On And...
