Busy Bees Carterton

Just a reminder that tomorrow we have our dress up day for NZ Book Character Week.

Dressing up as a book character is a great way to get children to use their imaginations and bring the stories they love to life. Are they dreaming of going to Hogwarts? Planning heroic feats like their favourite comic book characters? Perhaps they want to be a princess in a faraway kingdom? With the right costume, their favourite book, and a little imagination they’ll be on their way!

🌟 Happy New Zealand Children's Book Week! 🌟
This week we're celebrating the wonderful world of books and storytelling! 📖✨
Through stories, children develop language skills, imagination, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Whether it's a favourite bedtime story or discovering a new adventure, every book opens a door to endless possibilities.
At Busy Bees Carterton, we'll be enjoying extra story times, sharing our favourite books, and encouraging children to explore the joy of reading.
💛 What's your child's favourite book? Let us know in the comments!
