Minnie had so much fun following the patterns the footprints had made, especially when the patterns crossed over each other.
The snow patterns gave a great opportunity to talk about the animals & birds that had left the footprints, about size & shape, & how many footprints & different patterns we could find. It then gave us the chance to talk about hibernation, & which animals we had & hadn’t seen out in the snow. We then made our own wellie boot patterns in the snow, some of which travelled from one side of the garden to the other... & back again!
I love the fact that we had so much fun & great conversation from a simple observation Minnie had made!
