Blogging Advent - Thursday 14th
Today, Puggle made presents for the family.
I took the idea from something we did at Co-op earlier in the year.
You start with four pieces of contact, about 10 x 10 centimetres, one length of curling ribbon or raffia, and a collection of 'stuff'. I had planned to use mostly red, green and sparkly pieces of paper, with some punched shapes. Over the last few days though, Puggle has been cutting a lot of strips of coloured paper, and that seemed a pity to waste. He has also been cutting the wrappers from the chocolate coins and lollies he has received in the last few days, so they made it in as well.
Take two of the pieces of contact, remove the backing paper and lay them one above the other. Place the ribbon across both of them and extending out the top. Arrange the 'stuff' on the contact. When it looks "pretty", cover with the other pieces of contact. Tie a loop in the top of the ribbon, and then you're done.
This is an idea that I plan to use when we begin nature study. I think that completing one square after a nature walk, then the following week/month, adding another below it and so on, would be an effective way of watching a particular location change.
