World Book Week 2026 at Wonderland Nursery
World Book Week is one of our favourite celebrations at Wonderland Nursery, and this year began with so much fun and imagination. Although our week ended abruptly when my son suddenly became very poorly, we still made the most of the two days we had together. I’m so grateful for the children’s enthusiasm, the parents’ understanding, and the lovely memories we created before everything came to a halt 😒
🌱 Monday: Peter Rabbit Day
We started the week with a Peter Rabbit theme, inspired by Beatrix Potter’s timeless tales. The children took part in a Peter Rabbit vegetable‑patch digging activity, hunting for hidden vegetables in the soil. They were completely absorbed in the experience, and I even managed to convince them that the vegetables they discovered were the same ones I used in the stir fry I cooked for lunch.
Throughout the morning, gentle Beatrix Potter stories played in the background, creating a calm atmosphere. It was gorgeous to watch the children listen, explore, and immerse themselves in the world of Peter Rabbit and his friends. I can't lie, I enjoyed it too. There's just something about Beatrix Potter, isn't there?
🎩 Tuesday: Alice in Wonderland Day
On Tuesday, we tumbled down the rabbit hole into an Alice in Wonderland‑themed day. I set up a full Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, complete with handmade resources and a brand‑new tea set for the children to enjoy their own “afternoon tea.”
The girls especially loved pouring pretend tea and serving cakes, fully embracing the role‑play experience. They tried on the hats and bow ties, giggling as they swapped characters and invented their own Wonderland stories. We also enjoyed Alice in Wonderland colouring sheets, which gave the children a chance to wind down and get creative.
📚 Continuing the Fun Next Week
Although our World Book Week was cut short, we don’t want any of the children to miss out on the fun we had planned. We’ll be continuing our dress‑up days and the remaining activities next week instead, so everyone gets the chance to join in and enjoy the magic of the stories we had lined up.
Even though things didn’t go quite as planned, the two days we shared were full of imagination and creativity. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support during a slightly disrupted week for my family. I’m looking forward to bringing even more book‑themed fun to Wonderland Nursery once we’re back on our feet.
Love always,
Alice ☁️
