Story Telling
Fezzy There Magical Fox© & Friends
Story telling is such a huge part of how we learn about the world in which we live and how to navigate it successfully. That is why, here at the Magic Garden, we use Story Time to launch learning everyday. Those who join us for Play School are guided and supported by a wonderful team of care-givers and a magical cast of creatures, popping out of the pages of action packed, consciously curated books.
Faye wrote Fezzy The Magical Fox© and all her other activity books as a practical resource & invitation to play...

We sing our song to start the day, then come some invitations of play, chosen from the many color curriculum activities.
