Baby man is Gruffalo crazy. He loves his touch and feel Gruffalo book and has a soft toy Gruffalo (that my sister bought) that is half the size of him. So on a trip back from Swansea, we decided to stop off at The Dean Heritage Centre to have a look at their sculptures depicting the Gruffalo's child. Bless him, he was very excited. There was a lot of pointing.
We spent a few hours wandering around and letting the boys run around before finishing our journey. As we left we saw a lady making some of the beautiful carvings.
The problem with this? I want my own Gruffalo in my garden. How hard can it be for me to make one? Surely if I get a log and a chainsaw I can re-create this. Hmmmmm my Dad is good at making things.....
Dad..... I have a new project for you!
bet you could make one!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a great place, and a brilliant carving. My son would have loved that.
ReplyDeleteOn my list now. Youngest would love to see the Gruffolo sculptures. You must make one!
ReplyDeleteThere are a few places that do them - if you google it. It is only small, so you wouldn't want to drive for hours to get there, but if you live near/are driving past it is lovely
DeleteIt looks fab Lou !!
ReplyDeleteMy boy loves his noisy Gruffalo book so I think he'd like it here.
We've got loads of tree trunks at the end go our garden, I'd better start carving !!
ha ha, I get my Dad to make everything. He's in the middle of a Pirate Ship project atm! So wish we had a Gruffalo themed attraction close to us as both my boys love the stories and characters. Your little man is cute as a button!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic place - we love the Gruffalo too! It looks so pretty there and the carvings are brilliant. I do like the photo of them on the huge bench, they look so cute. Thanks for sharing your Gruffalo hunt with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea a place like this existed. Must do. for sure. love the pics x
ReplyDeleteAww that Gruffalo looks utterly adorable and I bet my little man would love one too. What a lovely place to visit!
