A beautiful day greeted us as we followed a photo trail of the gorgeous flowers in Clyne Gardens to search out the stepping stones, collecting petals on the way. We then used our petals to create a magic carpet and the children lay down and flew off to a magical rainbow land. Once there they made kaleidoscopes to see the colours of rainbow land using the petals they had gathered to paint and decorate them. We then walked over to the story telling tree where the children heard a story about how the flowers got their colours. A magical colourful activity.
