This afternoon Rose and Ocean were cooking in the mud kitchen, Rose was transporting green slime from the tough tray to make cupcakes, and Ocean was finding the colourful balls from the shed to use as her cupcakes. Together they added bark and picked flowers and leaves to their cakes they both said they were baking for their grandma, and Nan.
Many of the tamariki explored making things with the mobilo. Ellis shared what he had made. Lying down next to his creation to show how long it is. “This is alligator. It has a very long tongue. The blue bit will roll up and so will the red bit. When the tiger walks on the tongue. The alligator will knock the tiger down when it rolls up.”
