LET'S EXPLORE

Dupa and Kit love exploring the great wide ocean reef together. Everyday they get up, have a morning stretch, eat their breakfast, meet outside and swim to school. But on Saturdays they explore. One day they meet the new neighbour in town. What will become of Dupa and Kit's adventures when they meet Crabby? Enjoy reading this short story with your little ones and then create a craft from materials you would easily have at home. Suitability for ages 3-6.
