All led by Pickle. Once I set up the first activity, Colour Matching/Naming (actually for RaaRaa but he wasn't interested today) Pickle was eager to see what else he could do (learn) with a bunch of coloured building blocks.

And to him, he was Just Playing.

2 1/2hrs later and he's decided to build towers, so I'm going to put the kettle on.
