The Little Mermaid - aka - Reese

Everyday, this little Ariel gathers her friends and they swim in the ocean with the sea witch. 
So we made a mermaid tail!!
"It needs 3 lines on it. (Scales) You can wrap it around my body."
And an ocean. The children added Flounder and other fish. 
And a shark!!!!  "Can I make a shark?"
"I did Flounder. I'm putting him on the ocean ."
These mermaids are on the sand, with a crab!!
It's a school of merpeople reading. 
Lunch time for a hard working mermaid. 
Please don't feed the fish!!
"Look at his teeth. The white (pencil) worked."

So with just one bit of information from a child, we were able to extend upon her interest. She knows her ideas are important and will share more. This provoked so much; dramatic play, retell of a movie/book, creative art, personal connections of being on a beach/ocean. 
Everyone took on a job and together they created a beautiful ocean scene. 
Bravo!!!!
