Wellington sensation
* Gather a range of children's Wellington boots - brightly decorated ones are ideal.
* Place a variety of natural objects into the toe of each boot, for example a few leaves in one, a fir cone in another, a pebble, twigs, a flower, bark, grass.
* If possible, attach the boots to a board or wall. If not possible, place them on the grass or path.
* Encourage the children to find the 'treasure' inside.
* If you have two boots the same, put in the same contents and play a matching game.
* Name each 'find' and discuss the texture with the children.
