Lolly sticks

I found some heart and flower shaped lolly sticks for a few pounds in Dunelm, not sure if I'm allowed to say that, but I just did. Next time I will use recycled ones from ice lollys if they survive.
 Even my youngest daughter enjoyed colouring and putting stickers on these, I let my eldest have some glue and sequins. Great fun had by all .

Obstacle race / assault course

To make playing outside more interesting , we started an obstacle race using the see saw, trampoline and slide. This ended up being more of an assault course as the girls added various items from around the garden to it. Also included were some chairs to crawl under, the ladder to climb up and some balls to run up to and throw.

sticklebricks momentos.

We've got the sticklebricks out this morning. The little one (20 months) is enjoying tipping them in and out of the box. The oldest is busy making all sorts of exciting things. so far we have made a car, camera ,binoculars and a theatre. She now wants to make a birthday cake for her Aunty's birthday but there aren't enough sticklebricks. The idea of breaking up the models hasn't gone down very well so we are going to take photos of them and then take them apart and then we have enough to make the cake .
