MINIBEASTS 🐞🐛🦟🪲🐜 & WORLD BEE DAY 🐝
I’ve been so quiet on here lately, but honestly life has just been so busy creating fun and exciting activities for the little ones that I completely forget to share what we’ve been up to!
Over the past two weeks we’ve been exploring minibeasts and celebrating World Bee Day 🐝
We enjoyed mark making in playdough with mini beasts, painting with bugs, and lots of hands-on sensory fun.
We also ventured out into the woods to see what minibeasts we could find and had a go at making our very own bug hotels. The children absolutely loved collecting leaves, pine cones, and sticks to fill them with before heading off on a big bug hunt. We spotted a few little creatures, although we think the ground was a little too dry to find many!
This week we celebrated World Bee Day with honey-scented playdough, which smelt amazing 🍯
The children then had a go at transferring the “nectar” from bowls into the honeycombs. This was a fantastic activity for developing pincer grip strength using pipettes, as well as practising hand-eye coordination.
Lots of fun had by all 💛
Now I’m signing off for a week while I jet away with my family for some much-needed R&R ✈️🏝️👙
