A Making Day

Weds. is Rose's day off school and we ended up doing crafty things most of the day.  We have introduced a new reward system with Rose which involves earning money so she wanted to make a money box to keep her well earned dosh in! The only suitable receptacle I could find was a big yoghurt pot so we decorated it with strips of coloured paper and cut a hole in the lid to drop her money in.  

After lunch we embarked on project 2 - making a Diego Rescue Pack Kite (a lot simpler than it sounds!).  This was made from instructions in the excellent magazine we are sent called Friends.  We went up to the playground and tested it out on the little field as there was a fair breeze.  I have to admit I did not have high hopes - generally homemade kites are pretty rubbish but this was great.  Rose was so pleased with it and of course that meant we had to make one for Joshua when we got home!
