Food, food, glorious food. From the interest of our shops outside, this week we are adding to our kitchen by providing real fruit and vegetables for the Bumblebees to explore in their play.

After our soapy sand where things sank and had to be found, this week we will be exploring and finding hidden objects amongst the coloured rice. On finding them what will they feel like?

Our Post boxes have been so popular that the Bumblebees have helped to create their own posting board, with which there will be various shapes and holes at different heights. Will the objects drop high or...
