The Preschool children at Toddletown Farnham had the most unforgettable experience last week when ZooLab came to visit for a very special storytelling session.
The session began with a wonderful story all about animals, but the real excitement came when the children were able to meet the characters from the book in real life! Our Preschoolers were introduced to an African land snail, a tarantula, a gerbil, a tree frog and even a snake.
The children were absolutely brilliant — showing bravery, curiosity and so much enthusiasm. They shared conversations about their favourite animals, asked thoughtful questions and discovered fascinating new facts, including that snakes smell with their tongues.
Most of the children were even confident enough to gently hold their new friends, showing such care and respect.
Experiences like this are a fantastic way to spark wonder, support children’s confidence and deepen their understanding of the natural world. A huge thank you to ZooLab for bringing such a magical, hands-on learning opportunity to our Preschool room!
