Before you start
Let's begin
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Choose a toy animal. What does it need? Somewhere dry? Cosy? Near water?
Go house hunting together.
Look under roots, inside logs and beneath bushes.
When you find the perfect spot, describe it like an estate agent: "Lovely and dark, with a leafy bed!"
Find homes for the other animals too, then take them home.
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
