This time we will introduce handmade toys made at nursery schools.
Up until now, teachers have made a variety of handmade toys to suit the children's interests and development.
I would like to introduce some of them.
First, I'd like to introduce some wall-hanging toys made from perforated wood board.
This was originally built when the park first opened, and although this was the original shape, the games set up have changed every year to suit the children's interests and development at the time.
I smile when I see my face reflected in the mirror! I'm surprised when I pull the string and one side retracts! The clicking of the switch feels good! I enjoy it in various ways!
Also, by looking at this board, you can get a great idea of what types of games the children liked to play each year!
A new addition this year is the device next to the board, made from chain and plastic wrap core!
The kids love it and have fun silently turning the chain around and around!
The next item on my list is a washboard-like board with rubber stretched across it, with larger beads threaded through it.
The kids love this one too!
It's a very simple toy, but children from the 0-year-old class to the 2-year-old class can't help but play around with it, stretching the rubber band and moving the beads from one end to the other!
In this way, various toys are created from the teachers' ideas, and the children enjoy their days surrounded by such an environment!
Some can be purchased at 100 yen stores, and others can be made using recycled materials, so why not give it a try?
