Wednesday Craft Activity #1- Basketfull of Goodies

After being inspired from some wonderful on-line friends, I have decided to try to do a weekly craft activity- especially in these winter days that seem to go on forever when you are inside for most of them!
For my first attempt, we made colourful nature-inspired masterpieces, chock full of leves in all shades of autumn brilliance, nuts and berries, flowers and weeds. Copious amounts of weeds.
We packed up the pram and headed to the park with a basket to fill with interesting things we could find.
Back home we pasted them onto paper but found that good 'ol sticky tape did an even better job. It kept them both busy for AGES.
I had done up a sheet for Ned to work with where he had to put the objects in their correct groups of Nuts & Berries, Flowers, Sticks and Leaves. He actually did really well with it. In the beginning. It then however, became a free-for-all and ended up a great big mountain of weeds- with some decorative berries on top for good measure!
If you want to download the activity sheet, I have put it at the bottom of this post.

Here are a couple of pics from our afternoon...

A Trip to the Park on a Sunny Afternoon

Monday afternoons are often spent f-a-s-t asleep after Mother's Group, but this particular day, no sleep in the house. Not a wink.
SO we packed up the pram, filled the nappy bay with treats, drinks and the camera, and headed for the park.
It was a beautiful sun-filled June day so where better to be. We also grabbed a basket in preparation for our first Craft Activity- to hopefully be filled with precious finds along the way (keep an eye out for my next entry).
