The Gingerbread Man

One day a little old lady made a gingerbread man
and put him in the oven to bake
When the oven door was opened out jumped the Gingerbread Man!

When they got to the other side of the river
the fox opened his mouth and ‘snap’
that was the end of the Gingerbread Man

{isn’t it fun using toys to tell stories!}

Happy storytime,

Plasticine creatures

Crafts kits don’t usually tempt me… 
…they seem to imply that the materials should be used in a particular way
and an end product
Although often you can pick up supplies this way at good prices
…and then discard the box and instructions!
But sometimes, I have to admit that what these kits can lead to is pretty awesome *smile*
The kids’ Nana-ma gave them a plasticine monster kit… 
It came with feet, hands, mouths, hats and the like… 
I’d actually forgotten about it… and rediscovered it during a clean out
I sat the items on the table…. And the kids went to town with it! 
They have had such a brilliant time… 
{I did discard the box before they saw it} 
but just look what they created!
I particularly love this green and blue fella
somehow he reminds me of a tree sprite *slightly silly smile*

Happy crafting
