Babies and Toddlers turn Jungle Explorers
Babies and toddlers explore the deep, dark jungle.
Over the past few weeks, the babies and toddlers have enjoyed lots of jungle-themed activities including making giraffe biscuits and lion face pizzas and creating some inspiring jungle artwork. Check out the children’s amazing giraffe hand prints below!
We’ve been teaching the children about the different types of animals that live in the jungle, such as lions and giraffes, and practising the different noises they make – we have some lovely loud lions in the group!
We’ve also listened to and performed actions to one of the children’s favourite stories – Rumble in the Jungle – and sung about noisy Leo the Lion. As well as great for making huge ‘roars’, these stories and songs help the children become attuned to stage one phonic sounds.
We’ve also been practising counting and identifying numbers at circle time and in different, imaginative ways throughout the day.
The seaside is coming…
In July the baby and toddler role play area will transform into a lovely sandy beach. We have lots of exciting adventures planned such as creating papier-mâché beach balls, exploring tropical fruit and jelly and making our own ‘flip flops’. Watch this space for the results!
