Our Gruffalo themed Summer Explorers group had so much fun last week! 🦉🐭
We brought the story to life with puppets and a real woodland treasure tray, exploring leaves, moss and hay just like Mouse in the deep dark wood. Visual language boards helped every child join in the storytelling, answering who, what and doing questions about the Gruffalo’s woodland friends.
Little explorers then followed Gruffalo steps into a den in the deep dark wood, on a sensory treasure hunt to find something rough, smooth, prickly and bendy. And there was still time to get creative, decorating their own snake, fox and Gruffalo with gems and googly eyes, plus fine motor peg sorting, messy sensory bins and play dough snakes to round out a brilliant week.
DM to join us next week.
Every activity is designed to build communication, confidence and connection, one playful moment at a time. 💛
