About ELHQ

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 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.

There was also a bottom bunk that pulled out meaning the room could accommodate two adults and up to three children. 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. The attention to detail and theming of these rooms is of the highest quality with lines from the Gruffalo story written on the walls next to their woodland themed beds, which engaged them into the story. If you had to make up a fantastical creature to scare someone, or something away, what would it look like? Make your own life-size model of the Gruffalo. Take a look at this example, created by Ann Plowman:

Peter Fogarty has kindly contributed a set of Thinking Hat resources linked to the book (see Resources below). By having two separate sleeping areas was perfect as it meant that the girls could go to bed without being disturbed by lights or the noise of the TV. It was like having two separate bedrooms in one room. Investigate the rhyming in the books. Which words rhyme? Can you think of other words that rhyme with those? Created by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the most successful author/illustrator partnership in picture book publishing, The Gruffalo is a modern classic, and both mouse and monster have become stars of stage and screen as well as story-time favourites.

You can even explore language, have some fun and change things around to show your hold the impact just switching a few words can have. What would the Gruffalo look like if he had purple eyes, yellow eyes, grey spikes all over his tail?Arriving at the hotel we parked at our exclusive dedicated Gruffalo parking spot, which is reserved for Gruffalo room guests, close to the Hotel and Theme Park entrance. 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. 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. 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 woods are a dangerous place for a little mouse and it isn’t long before an owl has marked the mouse out for his tea. The mouse makes full use of his new invention and describes the terrifying Gruffalo to the owl. This time the creature has knobbly knees, turned-out toes and a poisonous wart on the end of his nose. The owl doesn’t want to hang around and meet this menacing Gruffalo and once again the mouse is left alone to continue on his way.

The word ‘terrible’ is used to describe the Gruffalo. Can you think of synonyms for ‘terrible’? Can you think of other words to describe the Gruffalo?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. The girls loved finding the interactive elements in our room, such as the giant wooden wheel which when turned would say phrases from the book including “twit twoo” and “a mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood”.
