Picture Dump

A few weeks ago I found what have to be one of the best set of crayons for kids. Most crayons I have found are hard to draw with and most leave a grainy texture on the paper and colour on your hands. These new ones look more like felts but are more like pastels to use. I pulled them out for Monkey to use this week. He loved them. I even tried them with Miss Boo but she was more interested in taking the lids off and putting them back on than drawing. It was great that she couldnt eat them like she does with normal crayons. Monkey and I did try using them to do a resist with watercolor paints but they didnt work, not sure if that was because they werent very good water colours or what. We'll give it another try later.

We have been using our sand pit and bubble machine lately even though it has been freezing. Having an outdoor space has been the best thing in the world. Miss boo has also discovered Monkeys trike and love climbing it and being pushed around. 

Ohhh bubbles...

Faster, faster....

I have also been organising Monkeys 4th birthday. It is going to be a octonauts party. Here are the imitations I made. I wanted the octonaut badge to look as though its underwater. Im still not sure how Im going to set up the party.

Being wet and cold has ment that we have had a lot of inside play. Mpnkey decided to turn his tent into a house complete with beds. He dragged all his bedding downstairs and piled it in the tent along with pillows from our bed. He has decided that he wants to spend the night in it one day so we will have to see what we can do.

 More outdoor fun with chalk drawing.

Yummy Chalk!!!
