This week for Virtual Book Club Summer Camp it is Forest Fun Week! Here at Toddler Approved when we think of the forest, we think of one thing... THE GRUFFALO! So, this week we'll be sharing some Gruffalo themed fun and learning activities every day! The Gruffalo is a lovely book by Julia Donaldson. The book shares the adventures of a mouse as he tries to escape some of the hungry animals in the forest... and winds up inventing the Gruffalo to save himself!

Take it with you on all of your adventures this week (or even for the rest of the month, the contest goes till the end of July!) Write a different number on the glass in front of the first two Gruffalos using a whiteboard marker.The Gruffalo is a wonderful book by Julia Donaldson. It was featured earlier this year as part of our Virtual Book Club for Kids. The Gruffalo tells the tale of a mouse that is taking a walk through the forest and runs into a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. To avoid getting eaten, the mouse invents the Gruffalo!

In addition to doing Gruffalo math today, we also went on some #gruffaloadventures around San Francisco! As the mouse continued his journey, he met the slithery snake, whose appetite was also piqued by the sight of the tiny mouse. However, the mouse, undeterred, cleverly informed the snake about his Gruffalo lunch, insisting that the Gruffalo adored a scrambled snake. The snake, terrified at the thought, slithered away in fear. I'd love to have you join in with the Gruffalo Adventures coloring contest, so here's what you need to do... This week for Virtual Book Club Summer Campwe are having some fun in the forest with the characters from The Gruffalo!

Cut around each Gruffalo on each sheet and hang three of them up side by side with tape on the outside of the windows facing inside your house. Then close the door/window. The window glass should be between you and the Gruffalo.
