Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙

Little A and I have been making a board game together called enchanted challenges. A roll to move game with a few mystery cards & some sleeping dragons that wake up and chase you around the board. It’s been a challenging make but we’ve had a great time testing it this afternoon!

Really enjoyed delivering this today, it included a magic trick, my ever favourite flexagons and not a power point slide in sight!
