Its “rest time” in our house right now. Master J is sleeping, Miss E is reading and i thought i would take a few minutes to update you on a few things i have been up to.
As always, we have been very busy with lovely walks, building with LEGO (their new favourite thing) and numerous crafty activities.
The other day, we decided to make a squishy aquarium. The idea was from Teach Preschool, a blog i highly recommend you check out if you have little people in your life. The idea was to fill snap lock bags with hair gel, a little food colouring and something like a toy fish to “swim” around. Now you think i could find one??? The closest i had was a toy turtle, but he was much too large. So we settled on using sea creature themed stickers on the outside!
The equipment
The finished product! Not a great picture, but a fun activity that has provided much amusement and squishing! We also put in blue glitter, which sparkled very nicely in the sunlight. The kiddies really loved squishing it around to mix all of the gel, colour and glitter.
And another little favourite activity was making a little potted garden. We have had to keep it out of a certain spotty bandits reach so its out the front 
Zoe has a record of, lets say, re-aranging my chosen position of plants.
We planted things that the kids like and would actually eat. Three varieties of tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and soon to be planted silverbeet (my trusty sneak it in every dish vegetable).
I must not forget to show you some of my monkeys i have made
And Frankie the frog too!
Half way through some lovely christmas themed stock which will head out to Cultiver.
