And I couldn't resist the Caterpillar ballons from Tesco 🤣

After a walk outside this morning and our weekly trip to our local Library for rhyme time, we've come home for one of our favourite activities - pouring, scooping, measuring, stirring, pinching etc etc.
Great for developing fine and gross motor skills and keeps everyone entertained 😊

Today's tray is all about what we can find in our gardens, inspired by the book 'Nature Trail'.
We borrowed this story from our local Library a few weeks ago and the children all loved it that much I bought us a copy 💜

Which bugs, birds and flowers will the children find? 🦋🪲🌹🌻🐦‍⬛🐦

We're also going to visit our park this morning - what will we find while we are there?

We've had a special delivery today from the postman 📫🐛

We usually do this every year and all the children love it, everytime. Each year they will learn something different from it 🥰

Beautiful day for a morning trip to our local park 🥰🌍
