I set up a small world play about penguins.
The big white blocks and the ice cubes light up and change colours.
This child was quite interested in the penguins and wondered what they eat. One of the books on display was able to give him the answer in pictures.
Squid and fish. I happen to have some in my storage room.
I also brought out leopard seals.
Leopard seals eat penguins, and penguins eat the squid and fish.
Oh oh the seals are after the penguins, where can they hide.
The boy suggested we need an igloo, we’ll work on that tomorrow.
