Freya visits the eden project

I've wanted to visit the eden project for years but had no idea whether it was toddler friendly. I have to say I was really impressed with the provisions for little people. I don't know if they're on all year or if it was just for the holiday but it made for a fairly stress free day for us.
We headed off to the core where there was a huge wall of fridge doors covered in magnetic letters, this must have seemed gigantic to someone Freya's size. Her sister helped her find the letters for her name and she spent quite a while shifting the letters about before she decided it would be more fun to fling them!

Fortunately there was a large table set up just behind for the kids to make a bee hat to go off on an adventure round the park looking for things then come back and get there bread and honey reward!
Freya loves making stuff so I knew she'd enjoy making to hat, her sister helped again adding a rather impressive pipe cleaner bee!

I wasn't sure she'd do the other bits to get her reward and was quite surprised she wore the hat for the rest of the day.
We headed off to see the butterflies in the rainforest biome. She wasn't overly interested in much, she noticed the odd butterfly but they moved pretty fast. She was excited by the water with money in it though and insisted we produce several pennies for her to throw in.

It was quite refreshing and unexpected that there was a smoothie stand selling fresh drinks which were very nice :) We headed into the shop at the end where she had a good go with lots of noisy shakers which no one seemed to mind.
We queued up for lunch which was extortionately expensive and Freya only ate her cookie out of her kids box. It was a nice meal however even if a little thin on food!
We whisked round the med biome as Freya was getting fed up looking at plants...

We promised her an ice cream and I was pleasantly surprised at the choice and reasonable price. For some reason she decided she didn't want it after a few licks!!

She spent a long time parading through a puddle which revealed she had a hole in her boots so they had to come off again and much to her delight there was a little section to walk through with no shoes that contained a few different textured sections for your feet to try ending with a mud pool! Definatley one to do on the way out as there was only a muddy bucket of water to wash your feet in at the end and nothing to dry them!

We looked in the shop at the exit where after rolling a large ball under several people's feet I managed to direct her to the clothes section where she tried on a few hats?!

Here she is copying a scene from the curious george movie where he does peepo with the mans hat!
All in all it was a good day out made more affordable by my gardeners world two for one card! :)
