Loom Band Perplexation

Ages ago I got a set of loom bands for you, but we haven't had a chance to get them out because Minnie is still a bit too young to not eat them/throw them everywhere.

So when Min was at nursery, and our clever crafty lovely friend (and your Fairy Godmother) Norris came round, we got them out to give it a shot.

And we could not figure out the instructions for the loom.  Whether Noz and I were just tired or if the instructions were dismal we will never know.  I figured out a simple way of doing it a few days later, but it was quite funny that two such crafty ladies could not show you how it was done.  Whoops!

Penny the Artist

Penny has become a fantastic artist, here are a couple of pictures she drew of her Mummy:

Peg Family

Two little artists

Today we got our new paints out for the first time, and you both loved it! Minnie liked to taste the paint, so she needed a careful eye, but you both created some lovely pictures by swooshing the paint all around.

Lots of fun, let's do it again sometime!

Arts and Crafts

A little while ago in April, we built a massive Duplo castle where each wall was made of a different colour of bricks.

After that engineering challenge, we decided to make bead necklaces today, so much fun. You concentrated a lot, and definitely had a preference for the shiny beads.

We had to be careful with Minnie, so she wouldn't want to eat the beads, but she seemed happy with her 'That's not my Donkey!' book.
