The Monkey children were invited to explore a Gruffalo Granny themed activity, inspired by the story The Gruffalo. The children explored the different vegetables and natural resources provided, including carrots, leeks, cabbage, onions, and green beans.
The children showed curiosity as they looked at and handled the different foods, exploring their colours, shapes, sizes, and textures. They were encouraged to name familiar vegetables and talk about what they could see. The children used simple language to describe the ingredients and were supported to develop their understanding of the story through imaginative play.
The children enjoyed pretending to make a tasty stew for Gruffalo Granny, developing their imagination and beginning to understand that objects can be used to represent something else during play.
