[youarewhatyoueat]

I thought I might with my own kids as the mindees are only 13 months old but what do you all do?

I thought I might make some tissue red roses and paint a flag, not really suitable for the young ones,any ideas?

Sparkle box have some nice simple masks, and you can make dragons from egg boxes.

we are having it as our theme that week, we are going to colour the dragon masks from sparkle box and for the england flag we will do the red cross with tissue paper then the other square bits with cotton wool, i will go to the libary on the monday to find the story so i can get it right cause its ages since i hered it properly and don't want to get it wrong:blush:
we always do cooking on a thrusday but cant think of anything yet that relates to it although actualy i have a foot print cutter so could do dragon foot print biscuits .

We will be doing something just not sure what yet the dragons look like the best bet:)

We usually do flags.

I have a child who is 14 months. If I do a craft activity, she usually sits on my lap and joins in as I make. She touches the craft items, puts her fingers in the glue, etc!

some good ideas there may try a few thanks
