![]() ![]() Another idea would be to create lots of shadow puppets and retell the story. We loved playing with our Gruffalo’s Child shadow puppets. If you have snow ( or fake snow ) make different animal footprints in the snow. This Gruffalo coding activity from JDaniel4’s Mom looks great. There are also some lovely learning ideas on the Room on the Broom website. You could dissect a flower, make a pinecone weather station or search for twigs of different sizes.Ī balancing or stacking activity would work brilliantly for Room on the Broom too – coming soon! The animals all throw an item into the witches potion at the end. ![]() First published in 1999, the scary gruffalo. Oobleck ( cornflour/cornstarch and water ) coloured brown would be perfect to recreate the scene where the animals rise out of the mud to scare the dragon. Julia Donaldsons stories never fail to delight, and this picture book of The Gruffalo is one of the very best. ![]() We love this Room on the Broom sensory bin from Still Playing School. If you’re looking for book themed science investigations you might also like our collection of Fairy Tale experiments for kids and Fairy Tale STEM ideas. The mouse threatens to eat the Gruffalo, who also runs away, leaving the mouse to eat his nut in peace. All my children have loved Julia Donaldson books, especially the Gruffalo, so as it’s almost World Book Day I’ve searched the web for my favourite Julia Donaldson science experiments and activities. This month for the Virtual Book Club for Kids, we are spotlighting Julia Donaldson. ![]()
