More Runaway Bunny

After reading The Runaway Rabbit this morning one of the children commented that trees can't look like rabbits, which led to talk about topiary and how people can shape trees, bushes etc to look like animals and we then watched these clips on you tube topiary designs and topiary and natural sculptures . They did ask if I could make the panda ones, they do look great but not something I would like to try and recreate!

We enjoyed several fishing games, as well as good for co-ordination, turn taking, it's a good game for counting, trying to work out who has more and less fish.

We lined up both children's fish to see who had more.

They enjoyed recreating the garden where the bunny said he would hide as crocus. I loved all the chatter and the way they described all their pictures, it's brilliant to hear all the things we have talked about etc being used.

L told me she had chosen a yellow flower to make the sun with, the bird is resting on the cloud, the bee is after some nectar and rabbits are hiding.

In this picture the little bunny is hiding very well under all the flowers.

Flowers and princess, using half a flower for a crown.

More garden pictures but this time raining as flowers need some water too as well as sunshine.

It has been really hot here today, not complaining at all but we created a lovely shady area, using the washing line and props. It became somewhere for the babies to sleep and to read stories.

Spent time playing with the balance beam and river stones.

Nearly forgot our carrot tops are slowly growing and we also watched Come Outside - Carrots
