Digging into discovery 🦖
Our Boobooks Kinder Explorers have been travelling back in time, learning about change on Planet Earth.🌍
Using clay, dinosaur skeletons, shells and ferns, the children created their own fossils. They then carefully excavated them with brushes and tools, just like real Palaeontologists!
A hands-on adventure full of curiosity, patience and wonder.💛
