Over the Summer holidays this year, the Little Green Influencers Team were invited to extend their term-time weekly sessions (aimed at 2- to 5-year-olds) and to take part in the Family Hub\u2019s FREE Family Fun Days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each one of the seven Family Hubs across North East Lincolnshire held a Fun Day and Little Green Influencers were in attendance at each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two workshops were offered to the families throughout each Fun Day, starting with Family Den Building and Craft Activities. Families of all ages joined in the sessions with such enthusiasm. They all explored a range of den types for all seasons and worked hard together to build fantastic shelters from the sunny weather. They then went on to craft their own small world camping scene and peg person to take home and play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excitement didn\u2019t end there. The families continued with the second workshop to find out if Miss Goldilocks was innocent or guilty of breaking into the Three Bears\u2019 home and making a mess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hilarious Three Bears tale was enjoyed before they toured the garden to find clues to decide for themselves! They all received a reward for solving the clues and had a great time taking photo-booth funny pictures. Following this, they had the chance to craft and share a picnic together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team hoped to attract 175 families across the Family Hub Fun Days but were delighted and overwhelmed by the 235 families<\/strong> that enthusiastically attended the workshops. What a Summer filled with lasting memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to each of the Family Hubs for inviting Green Influencers and a thank to Sam, Sophie and Fumiko for making the sessions happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
