Jack and the FlumFlum Tree

Jack and the Flumflum Tree was Luath’s favourite book last week, we read it many times.  We have done a few things inspired by the book.
Made some paper boats.  Jack builds a wooden boat but a paper boat sails alongside in the illustrations.

We made them on Earth Day out of flyers and sailed them in a puddle.
    
We did an experiment to see what would sink or float in a puddle.

I made a tom tom (a tub, cloth and elastic band) and we played it with wooden spoons while reading the part of the book they feature in.  I also read in time to a beat.
 
We looked at the book illustrations.  All the objects that granny puts in the patchwork sack are hidden in the front/back pages.

We did some play with a shark and other animals.  Initially I took out a shark. monkey and birds as they feature in the book, but Luath thought more should try out our beach and sea.
