Dear Parents
Here are this week’s picks of fun, book-themed activities. We hope that over the past few weeks these activities have kept your children busy and taught them new skills.
For the 0 – 6 year olds
Wanda
Wanda is a girl with a beautiful head of hair. After a particularly hard day at school, feeling confused, forlorn and hopeless, Wanda’s grandmother lets her in on a few secrets. Through these hair secrets and stories, she finds the courage to face her fears and realise that her hair is a crown and something to be proud of. Click here to download an activity to help Wanda decide how she wants to wear her and help her choose some hair accessories.
