The Julia Donaldson Collection features unique kids toys and gifts inspired by the Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler books and films that are authorised and licensed by Magic Light Pictures. There are very few hotel rooms around the world that can literally immerse them into such a magical experience and made our visit to Chessington and the new the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure even more memorable. If you are a fan of the Gruffalo, and who isn’t, then this really is the toy for you, sorry, I meant your child. Apart from having your very own plush Gruffalo to play with and cuddle, he also speaks and your child will have hours of fun playing with him. AMAZING!
A giant 3D Gruffalo head was peering through the foliage into the room. “WOW” the girls exclaimed when they when they first caught glimpse of the Gruffalo but it’s what makes these rooms so special. Quite alot has changed since this blog, / article has been written. We are currently stay in The Gruffalo Room and have to say there have been a few disappointments. Bring the wonderful world of The Gruffalo to life with this beautiful 30cm tall talking soft toy. With 12 sounds and phrases it is the perfect Gruffalo toy for kids who love the book and films.
Creative Play
THE GRUFFALO TALKS! - Press button to hear 6 iconic Gruffalo phrases and sounds from the movie such as "My favourite food!", "You'll taste good on a slice of bread!", "You go ahead and I'll follow after", "Amazing!", "Astounding!", and a Gruffalo laugh! Turn the story into a play, using the correct layout. Could you perform this for others? Watch this version for some inspiration: You could use the story to talk about animals and habitats as the fox lives underground, the owl in the treetop and the snake in a log pile house. You could also use the story to talk about which animals are frightened, who they are frightened of and why. Make your own life-size model of the Gruffalo. Take a look at this example, created by Ann Plowman:
When staying in a premium Gruffalo room it would be good to have the option to have breakfast at your leisure rather than having to book, but this is only a small criticism. THE GRUFFALO 12cm TOY FIGURE - Recreate the magic of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's picture book adventures with your very own official Gruffalo action figure character. The perfect gift for all Gruffalo and Gruffalo's Child fans On to what really matters – are the new Gruffalo rooms at the Chessington Hotel worth staying at, and ultimately is it worth the extra cost? The view from the hotel window was outstanding looking out on to the Wanyama Reserve where animals such as Giraffe, Zebra and Sitatungas were freely roaming. Peter Fogarty has kindly contributed a set of Thinking Hat resources linked to the book (see Resources below).Once all the paperwork was finalised, we received our bands for early access into the Chessington theme park, made our dining reservations and we were advised of the meet and greet times to come face to face with the Gruffalo himself in the hotel. Behind the faux stone cushions on the floor was a hidden door and when you opened the door the children found a Gruffalo story book. My youngest daughter loved reading the book before bed along with watching the film from her bunk bed. The Gruffalo theme continued with lots of leaves around the cornices of the bedroom and trees but the star attraction of the room was located above the headboard of our bed. There was also a bottom bunk that pulled out meaning the room could accommodate two adults and up to three children.
