🐛🍃🍓The Very Hungry Caterpillar🍓🍃🐛
Our Busy Bees have been busy exploring a wonderful, colourful sensory activity inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar! 🐛❤️
The children enjoyed discovering different fruits, vegetables, leaves and other foods, exploring colours, shapes and textures along the way. 🍓🍐🌿🧀🍦
Through hands-on play, our little Busy Bees are developing their curiosity, language skills and understanding of the world around them, all while having lots of fun! 🦋✨
This fun, hands-on activity supported several areas of learning and development from the Birth to 5 Matters framework:
🗣️ Communication and Language – Encouraging children to name different foods, learn new vocabulary, describe what they could see and engage in conversations.
🌍 Understanding the World – Exploring different foods, natural materials, leaves and the life cycle of a caterpillar.
🎨 Expressive Arts and Design – Exploring different colours, shapes, textures and using their imagination during sensory play.
🏃 Physical Development – Developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by picking up, holding and moving the objects.
🧠 Mathematics – Exploring sorting, matching, counting and recognising similarities and differences between objects.
❤️ Personal, Social and Emotional Development – Building confidence, making choices and sharing the experience with others.
