It's no secret that kids love fun and engaging activites so enter the Toothpaste and Toothpick activity! The children are encouraged to squeeze as much of the toothpaste out of the tube as possible. When they're happy it's all out, they have to use a toothpick to put the toothpaste back in the tube! They quickly realise it's a very difficult task! What lesson is to be learned here? Once words are spoken about someone or something, it's impossible to undo what's been said. We also read Mr Peabody's Apples to re-iterate this lesson. A great discussion about the power of words (nice and unkind) followed.
