Organized Chaos

Well as the title suggests we had some fun organized chaos, rather than pick a craft activity for everyone to do. I just got everything out and let their imaginations take over lol.... at one point we had a clay volcano which then became a winged horse, which then became a rocket and then finally back to the winged horse type animal. Tom and Robynne decided to make a paper mache ninja, tho' after being challenged to make a bridge fit to hold a toy car, Tom left Robynne to create a very butch looking ninja on her own. While all this was going on, my 6yr old nephew who is visiting at the moment flitted from one thing to another, not knowing what to try first. It was great fun to watch in the end he made a very lovely hedgehog out of clay and

we started the beginings of a didgeridoo out of empty haribo tubes. Which will be painted up and has sparked the idea to try some aborigini style art projects.


Incidentally Tom's bridge did hold up the car, tho' when another car was added collapse occurred.

Next month we will be making volcano's as we will be having a 'Bangs and Explosions' science afternoon the week after and well volcano's are the ultimate in explosions lol.

Will add more pics after they have been painted.
