Bog Baby bananza!

We have spent the week looking at the book Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis.We went into the wood on a Bog Baby hunt to see if we could find one in our own woodland. We looked under logs, piles of leaves, bluebell thickets, inside the crowns of ferns and in the long meadow grass.
We also made our own Bog Baby using blue playdough and created the features using natural and man-made materials.
Using white oil pastels, we created a Bog Baby scene then we used a blue paint wash to reveal the beautiful designs.
We carried on developing our weaving skills by sewing Bog Baby, using wool, needles and paper. We then decorated them.
The children did an experiment on Wednesday, where they coloured in some water lilies, folded the petals into the centre, placed it on top of some water in a tray then something magical happened...
The petals opened up gradually to reveal the flower they had beautifully decorated!
Maybe you could go on your own Bog Baby hunt this weekend in the lovely weather!
Have a wonderful weekend and happy hunting!
