- Make a display of wooden objects choosing attractive or unusual objects, if possible. Invite children to add to the display. Discuss where the material to make the objects came from. Ask children to choose an object they particularly like and to use as many words as they can to describe it eg how it feels, looks. Build up collections eg of plastic objects, metal objects, glass objects. Label each set. Use simple reference books to find out more about each material.
