These were really easy to do - I simply cut out some egg shapes from card and on one side drew on some patterns for them to colour in.<br />
<br />
I let the children use pens and stickers to decorate the eggs. You could use paint/glitter/tissue paper too.<br />
<br />
Once they were finished I threaded them together and have them as hanging decorations.<br />

<br />
Cut card (if you have no card then you can use cereal boxes) in to the shape of a Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
Use a hole punch to make a hole and thread with wool.<br />
<br />
Then decorate the tree with pens/paint and sparkles!<br />

<br />
Mix up the foam and paint using a spoon, then sprinkle glitter on top. I put it in a disposable baking tray - this helps to contain the mess and also is a nice reflective surface.<br />

<br />
I added in a few toys from the play dough box but toys are not necessary. Some snakes/spider/insect toys might be another good idea!<br />
<br />

We played with it squishing it between fingers, making patterns on the table, hiding toys in the slime and exploring all the shapes we could make.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
When finished I put the tray and toys in the sink and rinsed. The table cloth and apron went in a cold rinse wash in the machine and came out sparkling clean. This is not suitable for very young children who will put the foam near their eyes or in their mouth. Also remember shaving foam may sting cuts. <br />

Nearly Autumn again - my favourite time of year for crafts! Today we went out for a walk to collect some leaves, we chatted about leaves falling off the trees and sang the leaves song. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Autumn leaves are falling down </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
falling down, falling down, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Autumn leaves are falling down on the ground!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To the tune of London Bridge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got sent the idea for this cute craft by my friend, she saw it on http://www.teachingideas.co.uk!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stuck the leaf on a piece of paper and decorated with paper and googly eyes to make this wolf/fox. Very easy and I think they look great! </div>

Printed out some pictures of hedgehogs and mixed up some brown paint - good opportunity to chat about colour mixing. (Red and green = brown)<br />

Summer can be a tricky time to keep the kids entertained without spending loads of money!<br />
<br />
We went to this local loch (or lake!) and fed the ducks. We went for a walk round, chatting about the birds and flowers we saw.<br />

It's that time of year when you need to think about teachers gifts. As someone who has done teaching let me tell you that a home made card, made with time and love is extra special. I still have cards from 10 years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So first you need a piece of card, fold it in half and decorate the front anyway you like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the inside you need a piece of card folded in half twice, this will be the plant pot. Stick it inside the card with glue. The card should fold flat if placed correctly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once chopped up we decorated them with paint. Older children can try to create a realistic mouse pattern but for younger ones it is all about painting on a different surface. </div>

I always make Scotch pancakes or drop scones. These are thicker than normal pancakes and I think they are nicer! They are also easier to make.<br />
<br />
We used this recipe - <a href="http://www.be-ro.co.uk/recipe/showrec9.html">http://www.be-ro.co.uk/recipe/showrec9.html</a><br />
<br />
The kids enjoyed adding and mixing the ingredients! When I was cooking them the children did a pancake colouring picture while they waited for their pancake! We used this one - <a href="http://www.supercoloring.com/pages/cooking-pancakes/">http://www.supercoloring.com/pages/cooking-pancakes/</a> but there are lots of pages available!<br />
