In the meantime, the school holidays loom ahead. I have no idea what the weather is going to be like next week, but as far as I can see, we will have summer on Saturday, and possibly Sunday. But thereafter, there are no guarantees. So I've been trying to come up with a couple of fun (cheap) things to do with the girls, and I thought that I might share a couple of the things we've tackled so far with you. Just in case you're short on ideas too.
Seeing as T-Bird has been on holiday for a week already, and what with the rain we've had this week, we had to come up with something to do indoors (again).
The girls enjoyed this activity. On a scale of 1 to 10 for fun, it probably scored about a 7. And it was easy enough for both of them to get into without much guidance from me.
I drew templates for feet, which they coloured and cut out. They each blew up their own balloons with a little hand pump, and decorated them with faces. Balloon knotted and slotted into a tiny hole in the foot print, and... Voila! Balloon pets.
The only downfall is, because they were so easy to make, the girls each made several, and I now have little bobbing, bouncing balloon animals ogling me from just about any perch left in my house (the ones that don't have piles, of course!)
And I do actually hate balloons...
