Creatures and Critters

We were very fortunate to have a visit from Animal Capers at the ELC this week. They bought with them some very interesting wildlife. The animal keeper explained about the animals and  their habitats to us and the types of food they eat.
We all sat very quietly so as not to frighten the animals then the keeper bought them out one by one for us to hold and feed. We had to handle them very gently especially the green tree frog named Napolean.
"He is Chocolate?" questioned Erin.
" Feels like a marshmallow" said Kristian.
"Its he's water"  said Boasi pointing to Napoleans Terrarium.
"It says BRUB BRUB" Joshua explained.
"Its a big one, he's lovely" Harrison said sweetly.   
Textures
We have all also been very involved in sensory play this week, experiencing various textures such as gritty (with moon sand), slimy (paint), and bubbly (shaving foam). We got very involved, right up to our elbows!
"It multicolour! Like a rainbow" said Kristian, who was playing with colourful shaving foam.
"It suncream. I putting on suncream" said Erin.
"Mine like a rainbow. I washing my hands with it" said Gabby.
"Dis from da moon" said Angus as he let the moon sand crumble through his fingers.
What a lot of fun!
