We had our big scary meeting at the children's centre last week. It wasn't actually that scary! The manager was lovely and we're now all official. We've got the room and we're open to everyone.
Today we read one of my favourites from when I was younger - The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
As always we started by reading the story with the babies in a circle. We had lots of toy caterpillars out for them to play with as they were listening.
All the food in the story made us hungry so we had a tasting session. Apples for Monday, pears for Tuesday, plums for Wednesday, strawberries for Thursday and oranges for Friday. Monkey can't have apples and pears although we are working on reintroducing them so I had to distract her with banana. She enjoyed the rest of the fruit though and oranges seemed to be her favourite.
We didn't eat the weekend meals as they were so huge. I think Monkey was a bit disappointed as she does love her food.
The craft activity today was very messy but lots of fun. We used hand printing to make a caterpillar picture and made butterflies using footprints. There was paint everywhere! The babies were covered and I ended up wearing a lot of it too. We did manage to get some on the paper though and Monkey made this lovely picture.
Book club is fast becoming one of our favourite activities. We can't wait for the next one.
I spotted your picture on Twitter, this is one of our favourite stories, thanks for sharing with #readwithme
