Small World

I've got a backlog of things I want to post but haven't had the time yet (I've been trying to limit screen time over the summer!)... but for now here's a quick one of what we're up to today.

After a busy out-all-day yesterday we planned to spend some time at home today.  We had the usual engery burst first with a scoot around the block and to the post office.  Back at home I suggested to Reuben and Keziah that they could make a small world in the lounge and got out a few toy boxes.  They really enjoyed creating little areas - farmyard, train through a forest, boats in the sea etc.  They used the book You Choose by Nick Sharratt and Pippa Goodhart for inspiration on different zones.

After lunch Reuben got out Keziah's new puzzle of the British Isles and drew around different counties to create his own map.  We love anything to do with maps and learning about other parts of the world!
