The theme this month is space... so i had a eureka moment at stupid o'clock this morning when i couldn't sleep, lets take unused things in and make rockets! Dont know who was more excited, me or the kids!
We made the rockets, by cutting up the tube roll, wrapping it in wrapping paper and then cutting circles of card out for the top, we made slits in so they pointed! I also taped some knotted string into the circle so the rocket could be hung up. :) The silver ribbon was used to make fire ect.
The gold coins, however were an addition from the child. Something he'd pulled out of his lunch box and suggested we used them as windows! Genius child!
We went mad with the glitter, and ended up making an alien tree and an alien with crazy hair and flailing arms and legs. We used up majority of the glitter on the tree so drew on the alien.
This task took almost two hours, and there were only two of us. We did leave it and come back to it, but the fact he was engaged all that time (and me too!) is fab.
We are very proud of our rockets, and aliens and had great fun playing. Hope you do to.
