Edwina the Emu is one of our favourites, she has to go find a job and Edward the Emu stays home sitting on the eggs. We talked about why the Emu’s sit on their eggs, would Edwina really work for her money or would she be off foraging for food etc.

Carly March 14, 2011 at 8:12 pm: I love books that pose the “What If” questions. Lately I have been loving to read “Clinton Gregory has a Secret”. I always am on the look out for Australian authors too!

Books are great too, that allow you to extend on them further. So, posing the question of “What happened next?” or telling another story!

If I was participating, I would have loved to discuss the possibilities that Lego presents. By creating an inviting environment, the children can come up with the wildest stories for the characters.

The best thing about imagination in children, is that it is endless.

Great post! Will be sure to link up next month!

I have to say my son is spending a lot of time lately with ‘What if … was extinct?’. What if I was extinct, what if people were extinct and so on – I’m loving watching him figure out the meaning of extinct.

Deb @ Living Montessori Now March 28, 2011 at 11:17 am: Great post about science and imagination, Deb! I love the way you covered so many different areas. I’m curious – is the Magic School Bus series popular in Australia? It’s very popular in the U.S. and was a much-loved part of our homeschool science studies.

Ro March 28, 2011 at 11:48 am: Love sparking and inspiring my Aspie teen’s imagination, too often he can be so literal and concrete in his thinking (Autsim Spectrum does that) so getting him imagining is a huge release for both his mind and the anxiety he lives with every day 🙂
