As part of their farmyard theme, the Gloucester pretoddlers have made mini farm animal sandpits! The children enjoyed feeling the shapes of the animals buried in the sand and they used the animal feet to make foot prints. The pretoddlers did a super job of identifying the animals names and the sounds they make too.
