Decoupage - this has been such a hit - and can be adapted for every age group
we had a ton of coffee drums and one rainy day.........
watered down PVA glue and old catalogues the kids literally tore strips out of the Tesco extra catalogue and painted the glue on the strips and away they went both kids enjoyed it so much M's was obviously more detailed and she was cutting shapes and patterns for hers D just enjoyed piling it on - certainly something I'd repeat - I'm saving these things for the winter time really and getting out when it's sunny and doing the garden and enjoying the few rays we do get!
I'm quite pleased today M had a friend she made at gymnastics over - a lovely little girl she's going over on Wednesday - her mother is an artist!! wheee!!
as they aren't from the UK we are swapping skills I will help with English - and she will do art!
This week it's been odd and quiet I've been overwhelmed with work - times like this I can't help but fret a little and there was once a time when it would fall apart and be a very tense time.
This week has been tense but all my own doing - I sat and had a chat with M about my commitments this week and the fact that I didn't have tons of spare time - she asked to play more on her games and do some learning in the evening instead which worked out well for me as well.
We have been reading "Cookie" by Jacqueline Wilson we finished it last night a fab read! I 'm not sure who wanted to read it more me or her!
Not sure what's next on the agenda but my reading to her is certainly helping her break out of her reading shell.
