Our Creative Day.

I enjoy school holidays with my girls home with me and so finding things to do can start to get difficult when we are now in week four so today I planned on keeping us busy with lots of creating. We started the day off with some painting on a plate and cup that will go into the oven tomorrow, these were a Christmas gift. Miss 5 and I were busy in the kitchen creating play dough, blue and pink and as an added sensory experience I added some coconut essence when I was manipulating the dough after I cooked it in the saucepan. After some one on one time with Miss 5 it was time to do some cooking with Miss 10 and use some of her new cooking utensils. We decided on making some afghan biscuits finishing them just in time for afternoon tea with our neighbour. My goal was to get a bit of sewing in but I didn't get any done but I did get some bias binding that I needed for the dress, so tomorrow I'll get a wriggle on and show you my progress. Thanks for coming by to visit, I'll leave you with this play dough recipe which I love to make.
