There were about 5 families who are all regulars. It was a lovely sunny day so much of the time was spent playing out.
Activities on offer were making paper elephants....
....finding where in the world each animal lived on a giant world map...
...play 'Which animal am I?'. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the lovely lift-the-flap poster that one of the other mum's made with a series of questions using a tree diagram to find the answer.
Outside, they could meet with some real ducklings and learn about wild ducks...
...listen to a story & play a team general knowledge game using Brainbox Safari.
If you want to know how to make paper elephants too, they were inspired by this video.

Oh wow this looks like so much fun! What a great idea for an activity. Toby loves elephants so I'll definitely be getting the crafty bits out to do these xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun :) I liked how simple the elephant craft was and how the kids could individualise them. Thanks for stopping by :)
