On Friday morning the babies and pre-toddlers hosted a gardening stay and play and some of the children’s grandparents came along to enjoy it with us!
We have now planted lots of sensory flowers in the garden, including lavender, rosemary, thyme and coriander. We have also planted lots of different colourful flowers that we are looking forward to blooming so our babies and pre-toddlers can enjoy all of the different smells and colours when they grow.
We also enjoyed a range of other messy/sensory activities in the garden, including colourful oats, flower/petal play and painting with flowers. All of the children and their grandparents had LOTS of fun – Thank you to those who came to enjoy this day with us!!
