A Winter Adventure With Barny

It is no secret that this Winter has been rather wet and windy, making it sometimes difficult to keep the children entertained, especially when they have been stuck inside for so long dreaming of the great outdoors. Britmums and Barny wanted to celebrate children's curiosity so have set a winter little adventure challenge for us to take part in.

We were sent two packs of the delicious Barny sponge snack in scrummy new flavours strawberry and apple.

These yummy snacks gave the girls some much needed energy to embark on the small adventure I had planned for them.

I managed to find a lovely kit at our local supermarket that meant the girls could not only plant some flowers without having to step out in the rain but they could also design the little pots that the flowers would be planted in. Even Layla joined in.

I loved that each of them came up with something totally different. Freya actually took inspiration from watching Cloudy With Meatballs 2 the other day. Below you can see Elise and Gracie's pots.

Then it was time to plant the seeds and to water them. First they need to fill up the pots with compost, I think more actually ended up on the table than in the pots but we got there in the end.

The pots are now in a nice sunny place on the windowsill.You can see below Layla and Freya's artistic efforts.

The girls have been watching inpatiently waiting for the plants to grow. I haven't told them that they'll get to plant them outside in a couple of weeks time, another little adventure to be had.
