time.
Implications: I asked my supervisor what experience can be used based on this observation and
she told me that the child loves hands on experiences so she said anything that they can use their
hands to explore and discover with. I then suggested hand puppets where theyll have to use fine
motor skills in order to pick up the tiny stick on eyes and would have to stick both on the sock
and then could fit their hand inside and open it to be a shape of a mouth and start playing with it.
The supervisor told me that was a good idea and the children would really enjoy making their
own hand puppet. According to Wright (2012) it is believed when engaging in the arts we make
objects of our own thoughts, bodies and senses and we bring ideas and feelings into existence.
That is the intention for this child as they will choose a colour sock based on what they like and
will bring out their thoughts, ideas and feelings into existence through their body by what
character they feel like acting out. Outcome 1 Children have a strong sense of identity my
focus child and the children will explore different identities and points of view in dramatic play
when they pretend to be a character using their puppets (EYLF 2009). Outcome children are
confident and involved learners the children will explore ideas and theories for their puppets
using their imagination (EYLF 2009). Outcome 5 Children are effective communicators The
children will use language and engage in play to imagine and create roles, scripts and ideas
(EYLF 2009).
