I also put together a little story basket for Handas surprise. We haven’t read this story for a while so I thought it might be nice to bring it back out and it fits so well.
I gathered up all the Africa instruments we have and our village Pre school lent me some of theirs too which was fantastic They also lent me a CD of African music which we played and they danced too and played instruments too.
We brought out our Safari set again. This is a big hit at the mo and it was welcomed back again after a few weeks away. The animals joined in with our Handas surprise story as well.
The girls acted out a lot play scenes and made the Giraffes have kisses. Very cute!
Little “R” gathered them all up in our Giraffe bowl and transported them around the house. We had a lot of transporting going on today. All 3 of the little ones, filled bags and bowls with items and moved them around the house and out in to the garden. My bottom step of the stairs was full of bags and bowls by the end of today!
We also borrowed some dressing up clothes and fabrics. The Pretty purple dress was “R”s Favourite.
During snack time the pictures were taped up in the kitchen to dry. They Prompted a lot of conversation and discussions between the little ones. They talked about each one and picked out the one that they had lay on the paper for.
