Little Doves Under 5s Playgroup - Waterhouses

21/07/2025

Here comes the rain as we start our summer holidays , but we ended our first year in the sunshine with a teddy bear theme .
We decorated wooden bears , sorted jelly bears into colours in the messy play tray. We dressed teddies and even ate teddy shaped toast and crisps for our snack . We added raisin eyes to our teddy toast to make it more fun !
We went on a Bear hunt and enjoyed bubble play and parachute fun too.
On behalf of myself and Ange , we would like to thank you all for your support this year since taking on Little Doves .
Whether you donated toys or craft items to us , handed out leaflets and spread the word that we are here .. to the parents/carers and of course , the wonderful children that came to see us each week.
Good luck to those leaving us 😍
And for everyone else , we will see you in September ❤️
