We are loving the holidays, unplanned days with sleep ins, late nights, play dates, trips to the cinemas and so far no homework!! I had the best intentions for the holidays but the break has been so nice I haven't pushed the issue. We have started reading for the premiers challenge, so thats something!
The other day we managed to sneak in some afternoon craft
It was well recieved by both of them, though my little miss definately spent alot more time on hers than he did. But the enjoyment was still there for them both and I enjoyed watching and even getting to help a little. I was surprised at how uniform they were in their designs making both shoes quite matching.
Obviously this craft called for symmetry.
I can not take credit for this craft - we got the idea from our very good friends who had done this the day before we visitied them for a playdate.
I picked up the white canvas sneakers at Big W for under $5 (I didnt mention to him that they were from the girls department! - not necessary information really - white slip on canvas sneakers scream unisex) And while our good friends used paint, I thought we would use fabric markers - more design control for little hands, less mess for mum!!
And they have not taken them off since. They are loving wearing them everywhere.
