Halloween - out of a packet.

 Face paints ready for Halloween party.

I bought a bigger pack so that on rainy days or when the girls have fancy dress parties they can have some fun with these. Great ideas on the internet. Snazaroo do step by step guides which are easy to follow.

The supermarket had some boxes of halloween cake and biscuit on offer. After we had made the bat buiscuits I let the girls have some dough each to experiment with.Most of it ended up on the floor!

And finally , another shop bought packet, it is half term after all , easy to make , the stickers are great for younger ones who can create their own ideas.

Autumn collage

After collecting some autumn "treasure" ,I drew out lines of trees and put PVA glue over them and then left the children to add their leaves and acorns.

Making the most of the last of the sunshine.

Who would think after the summer we have had that we would be back in shorts and tee-shirts in October . Instead of making a mess with paints we got buckets full of water and painted lots of different thing in the garden . It is worth reserving special paintbrushes for this so nothing stains .
