Gruffalo Themed Day

Gruffalo Themed Day

We love The Gruffalo! So we decided to have our own Gruffalo themed day. 
We set about scene setting our story which would end in a sumptuous Gruffalo tea to reflect the story. Here’s how we did it…

We started with breakfast. The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.

Our roasted fox was a simple chicken casserole. We made a cardboard surround cover for the casserole dish.

We had a fab Gruffalo feast! We spent the day doing Gruffalo activities, colouring and word searches and finished the day watching the DVD. The re-creation of our favourite book was a yummy and fun success!
