Lights, Colours, Pizza!

​During the children’s exploration of colour, we set up an invitation using a projector and manga tiles to expand their curiosity.

Some children started by taking all of the tiles and trying to cover as much of the light as they could. Other children created houses, pizza and buildings. After creating, they would put their creations on the projector to see what would happen. 
One of the children arranged the triangular tiles into a circular shape and exclaimed “I am making a pizza!” As he looked back and fourth between the wall where his pizza was being projected and the projector he said “What am I going to use for the cheese?’  I took some scrap paper and started cutting it up to look like cheese. I asked “would this work for cheese?” With a big smile on his face, he said “Yes!” and started placing the paper exactly where he wanted it.
As he continued to place the cheese he began asking for different ingredients. With each ingredient the child added, their smile grew bigger and bigger. ​After placing all of his ingredients on to his pizza, he went to the wall to inspect his work.

​Another child tried using a variety of the magnets to see if the projector light would shine through if he stacked the magnets tall. He adjusted the light on the projector and experimented with where to put the tower to have the most amount of light shine through.
This invitation inspired the children to explore and play in many different ways, including building and construction, science and dramatic play.
