I have been wanting to take the boys on a proper Gruffalo hunt for such a long time, but either the weather wasn't right or I didn't have our Gruffalo toys with us.
On Wednesday, the sun was shining and it was actually quite warm so I took the boys back to Castle Hill which we visited back in September, where there is a little tanglewood area which I knew would make a perfect Gruffalo hunting ground.
I hid the Grufffalo and Gruffalo's Child a couple of times on tree trunks and let the boys look for them and here is what they go up to.
We found mushrooms too
And a pixie table and chairs
Perfect for a snack after a Gruffalo hunt!
Oh wow how fantastic is this! Bet they had a great time. Lovely weather too.
ReplyDeleteHow cool, I love the cuddly Gruffalo toys! Looks like great fun
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea Jenny. Looks like the boys loved it too. I do like that little fairy table and chairs - very sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see a post like this I really want young children again, I realize that my children are getting too grown up for these simple fun games, yet they adored the Gruffalo when they were Berton and Jenson's age. Thank you for sharing your afternoon on Country Kids
ReplyDeleteRight! We're doing this! I just need to get a Gruffalo first! Love the pictures of the boys exploring. Absolutely fantastic.

ReplyDeletethanks lovely. such a simple idea really but we had such fun and it involved lots of climbing, stooping, seeing things on the floor and looking at trees and bark, branches etc... just cheap, old fashioned fun x
