Elephants were sparkling too here at Jollies

It wasn’t just our Cheeky Monkeys children enjoying the sparkle… as Exploring Elephants got in on the shiny act too… but instead of housing a selection of shiny amazing treasures on top of their foil blanket, theirs was used to hide inside as the best kind of sparkly den!!
