We adore Julia Donaldson books and today I’m sharing our favourite The Snail and The Whale activities, craft ideas and resources to make and do alongside reading the book.
This book is such a great read with it’s tale of an amazing adventure for the whale and a tiny snail as they travel across the ocean and around the world. It also has gorgeous illustrations by Alex Scheffler and a great use of rhyme telling the story that always keeps kids captivated.

I’ve made this craft using materials that I already had at home (because who doesn’t have toilet rolls?!) and the Festive Craft Kit from Edukit. It was lots of fun to create and I hope that you’ll enjoy it too.
