The Stretcher Project





A few weeks ago the children had a great time playing "Rock-a-Bye-Baby". One child would lay in a blanket, the other children would swing them back and forth with my help holding one side of the blanket. I asked the children if it would be possible to do it without grown-up help. A brainstorm session was held. Children quickly came up with the idea of a swing with a ladder. The children drew pictures of their ideas. We may be able to add a swing in our classroom. I introduced the idea of a stretcher.  We discussed how to do this and decided to give it a try. These are pictures of the process and the end result.
