A Day of Christmas-Making-Madness

Panda Girl received, amongst other things, a piping bag for her Birthday.  Monkey Girl is a little crazy about piping bags; probably because she's never had one, has tried valiantly to make one and has seen all the uber cool things one can do with one.  So the only thing to do was let her and Panda Girl have the run of the kitchen to test out the amaaazing piping bag.  :)

While the other girls made cakes, my eldest cleaned out the mouse house and the hamster house, cleaned out and dusted her room, and vacuumed upstairs - because she wanted to. I'm planning on an early retirement. 

We made a cute sparkly sort of tree today using rainbow explosion paper....




...pine cone Christmas trees...

...and Christmas puddings...

The Boy made a snowy scene...

Ballet Girl and Mummy used spray paint to make this...

...and The Boy chose and glued all the buttons on his snowman.

Panda Girl made a Christmas hat...

...Monkey Girl created this brilliant snowman decoration...

...and gradually the classroom became more and more chaotic!

The Boy made a 'holly grabber'.  I'm not entirely sure what that entails, but here is the finished product.  He was very proud.

Monkey Girl inevitably made a beard.  She does like to make the odd moustache and beard.  This one came with rose-tinted glasses.

Panda Girl spent a while transforming into Santa

...while Ballet Girl stitched a Christmas bag for her friend.

Finally our silver spray-painted pine cones completed our wreath.

We cleared up to the Benny Hill theme because it makes us work extra fast (!) and we finished the week with two hours of ballet lessons.
