Construct a mini-cairn

The Construct a Mini Cairn activity is both art, physics and a mental work! It is loved by yoga teachers and children alike. For young children, it’s a very good exercise for fine motor skills.

An inspiration that can take one lesson or inspire a longer project. All your class needs is this page, a pile of pebbles and a steady hand! This idea is part of Explore Outside the Classroom and has been brought to us by Mission:Explore.
