The interest on his face was a joy to watch as he was absolutely fascinated.

It encourages everyone to get moving as well as encouraging the children to take the time to look for things that we are sometimes in too much of a hurry to notice. What a great way to start children becoming more interested in the world around them and it lets the children follow their own adventures and discover their own wonders \u2013 just like Ryan\u2019s ladybird!<\/p>\n<p>Some of our team aren\u2019t very fond of spiders but we all love the rhyme Incey Wincey.
