We were asked to bring various item from home so that we can “basteln” (make) something.
If she had said earlier that it’s a busy board, It would be way easier for me to bring suitable things.
Anyway, I brought Aluminium foil, some covers from bottled food, pasta, Pom poms, feathers, cocks.
The children of course are allowed to play, feel, eat them.

Looking through the glass
Like i said, the in charge could have informed us that it’s a busy board and we could bring more related items.
For the below children 6 months, more suitable items would be different cloth like material- more texture wise for example. Less small flimsy items.
Children like Lil J who is sitting well- I think they need things that moves, making sound. Texture as well but things that they can tug and pull.
Older children would need items like door hatches, knobs, locks, zipper, a bike bell for example.

Playing with bells
My board has texture items- Velcro, sponge, then the pom Pom and feathers for the visual (colonies), I have bells added to the pulling items so that they would make some sound. And added metal covers to it so that he can hit metal with metal to make a sound.
Maybe when he is better with his pincer, I can add the zips and locks to it.
