THE THURSDAY GANG IS BACK!!!!

After a wee break for the Easter holidays the Thursday gang got back together to play and carry on having phenomenal imaginary adventures! Big smiles and hellos followed by a warm welcome to our new pal Casey.

Our dance warm up reminded us all about the incredible moves and shapes we can make with our unique and brilliant bodies and then we launched into a round of Funky Chicken with Silly Butterflies, a Squickly Starfish and a Funky Bunny amongst others! 🐇

At this point there was nothing left to do other than dress up, of course, and turn ourselves into explorers on a mission: to find wonderful ART around the world!!

Iona told us that she was so impressed about all the different art-forms that the Thursday Gang had showcased during the Licketyspit Ceilidh that she really wanted to see more art, make more art, discover more art! And so we embarked on a Magic Ball Art Voyage!🗺️ 🖼️

Shullamite had a rainbow Magic Ball from the last time we all played together so we blew it up, got in and whooooooooosh…

Time travel??

And so, where did you land? I hear you ask…well, WHEN did we land more like! Let me explain, not only did we find ourselves in a CAVE but we realised that this was a cave in the PAST! A cave with ANCIENT PAINTINGS!

Ayo had torches and when we lit them with a match, Miracle said:

“I can see paintings of dinosaurs and butterflies!” 🦋🦖

“Can you hear something?” asked Taz.

A cave person appeared!! Luckily Toby was great at communicating with them and told us that there was more to see, but as we followed the cave person they just fell through a hole and disappeared in front of our very eyes!!!

But nothing phases this gang of exploring Art lovers so we made ourselves as thin as a pin and dropped ourselves down the hole in the cave and… 

Landed in PARIS! 🇫🇷 In the studio of an artist who was searching for inspiration for her paintings, while sipping a cup of ArtisticTea! She was delighted to see that inspiration had arrived in the shape of US! After trying a cup of ArtisticTea, we all got up and gave the Artist our best poses for her to sketch! 🕺

“I must go for my nap now, but if you go through that door you could watch a fabulous Circus performance. But you can only get in IF you share some of your own circus routines…”

Circus routines? Do we have any? Well…little we knew about the secret skills of our Thursday gang! We had magic, tight rope walking, balancing, juggling and even a dancing zebra!! 🦓🎶

Our circus extravaganza was so impressive that The Pillow Man who owned The Behind The Door Circus invited us to join them and forever roam the Earth performing our wonderful acts! 🎪

And chuffed as we were to receive such a brilliant invite, we all agreed that our families would miss us if we joined the circus so soon, so we politely declined and set off to get back to the Magic Ball via a super long chute that took us right there, so we could get back home in time for our dinner!
