Glasses are made by cutting out two holes and attaching two pipe cleaners at either end (use scissors or paper clip to poke holes).

My 4 yr old got creative with the pipe cleaner arms, wrapping numerous pipe cleaners around each other.

The inside of the glasses even got coloured. She logged logged about an hour making these.

Bat. Cute.

Spiders.

Binoculars. Same thing here - attach string on either sides and use a piece of pipe cleaner to attach the two tubes together in the centre.

Furry feather things. No rules.

Lady bug.

Caterpillar.

A painted caterpillar – this one is still in the works. Going to get google-eyed and pipe cleaner-antennaes tomorrow once dry.


Stir blended ingredients with seeds before forming balls.

Any nut butter or seed butter works well. If you are new to sunflower seed butter you might want to add .5-1 tbsp extra cacao/cocoa powder to start.

A lot of people call hemp hearts, hemp seeds. The seed is actually the hull and is amazingly crunchy when toasted.

Fantastic for protein, skin and bone health as well as other anti-aging properties.

sorry about the blurry photo – I'll replace it tomorrow once I'm around the tub again.


Last weekend's session. A skateboard and baby were chosen for still life drawings. My eldest chose to draw from her imagination that day...

...as usual, I drew them drawing.

They are never too young to fall in love with this activity...

...Let little ones move around as they please. They'll always come back and sit down. Monkey see, monkey do.
