It was an active afternoon with the pre toddlers building a den in the garden.
Working together outside, we looked and talked about what objects might be useful and which would make the best den. With some adult help a fantastic large den was built using big pegs, tarpaulin and ropes. It was big enough for everyone to hide in! We played games and sang songs, pretending we were sat around a campfire.
