Conkers

Day 12 of #oct_playalong is conkers so we’ve added some to our small world play with Peter Rabbit and friends.

Farm Theme Week

We are starting our farm animals themed week with a farm small world set up with added porridge oats to explore.

Peter Rabbit Small World

Peter Rabbit small world set up complete with a quickly made rabbit hole for Peter Rabbit and friends to jump down.

Pirate Treasure

The pirate ship has run aground and the treasure has been scattered.
Little one enjoyed using a mini spade and a spoon to dig for the sequins and plastic coins before adding ‘rain’ and burying and rediscovering the pirate figures.

Making beds

It may look a bit messy but if you look closely you can see that my little one was making comfy beds for her animals and people to sleep on. She decided she needed to include the toilet paper herself which is one of the first times she’s added something to her play.

Rock Pool

Saw a lovely rock pool idea from @clairejohnson6224 earlier today so we made our own version in a baking tray. My little one enjoyed adding more cups of sand and arranging the items. We added in frozen frogs which she loved hiding in the wet sand once they had escaped their ice cube.

Zoo

Zoo set up today. We are a big fan of farm animals so they got lots of space at the front. They were soon joined by the bugs hiding in the couscous and we enjoyed using our finger to trace patterns. We went around all the animal enclosures discussing and tweaking them. Little one was insistent the pond needed water in, wanted the leaves to put over the sleeping dinosaurs and made steps from the bricks so the penguin could get down from its high perch.
