Arts and Crafts
Now is the time to roll out the glitter and glue! In our house, we had a 'useful box' like the one on Playschool where all the bits and pieces went such as cardboard, boxes, tubs, lids etc ready and waiting for one of the kids to create something new! Perhaps it's time to start one if you haven't already got one - surely you've got a few toilet rolls lying around! Here are some awesome crafty, arty ideas:
Here's a little crafty thing you could do posted by Local Healesville Artist, Clare James -
The 12 Bean Soup Mix Project!
Have a sorting race.
1 tbs of mix per person, per plate.
First to sort into seperate colour groups wins.
Then, you can use sorted beans and grains to make growing mandalas.
We used 3 cotton balls each inside an old lid.
Clare is also growing carrot tops on the window sill. And sprouting bird seed 'gardens'.

Keep moist on a windowsill and watch grow.
