The girls have been watching the Father Figure and I playing scrabble on our iphones (Words With Friends). It didn’t take them long to figure out what the general idea was and start to suggest words we could make from our letters, so we thought they might like having a go at the real thing. […]
Stamping?
When I suggested that he might like to do some stamping, Muski jumped up excitedly and began to stamp his gum-booted feet loudly around the room! “Not that kind of stamping… ” I giggled. “Well what kind of stamping then?” He asked crossly. “The kind you do with those animal stamps we got from Eco […]
We Play… in the Sand Pit!
Spring sprang on the weekend (even if the weather around here as temporarily forgotten how to be warm and sunny) and as I crawled out of my cave, outside, into the sunshine for the first time in months, I realised what a dismal state our sand pit was in. Time for some spring sand pit […]
