Soft play… YAY!!!!!!!…. Climb and build away
Recently Possums had a fabulous morning exploring their soft play!!! A tunnel had been created by the grownups for everyone to travel through which they absolutely loved. However, once the tunnel had been knocked over quite a few of them then loved to sit on one of the soft play pieces and rock backwards and …
The wonderful world outside our window
This morning Possums were being super observant and were obsessed with looking out of their room’s HUGE window!!

Dirty car, clean car….
The small world car wash had been a HUGE hit outside, so Cheeky Monkeys decided to do this again, but on a much bigger scale!!! However, to do this they needed to get the cars and bikes really MESSY first!!…. This was where the GIANT messy painting swiftly came in… in a flash they were …
