We had a flowery Forest Fun story yesterday, and a wander to look for lovely spring flowers. 🌸
We had (thankfully waterproof!) photos to help spot the crocus, snowdrops, snowflakes and the odd daffodil. Great fun! 🌼

Forest Fun was all about robins this afternoon - a robin story, an exploration looking for real robins, then making a pine cone robin to take home 😍
