A simple flower headdress

Dino Boy and I made a simple flower headdress *smile*
We used flowers and wool
{yes, that is all}

I plaited the wool, to create little holes…
…perfect for slotting flower stems through

A peaceful, lovely task on a warm afternoon…
…Dino Boy took his time and placed the blooms
Isn’t it pretty…

Happy days,
Kelly

Simple wands for children to make

I’ve been watching the kids run around the garden with their fairy wands *smile*
Ribbons streaming along…
A lovely contrast to the lush green grass

Dino Boy and I made the wands together in a few simple steps using…
~ ribbon
~ wooden dowel
~ felt 
{we used felt that had a sticky side}
~ black marker
~ tape

Dino Boy asked for blue triangles…
And because the felt was thick I cut the pieces for him

He stuck the dowel to one felt triangle with tape {and on the sticky side of the felt}

The ribbon came next, all the colours of the rainbow *smile*

Dino Boy stuck the ribbon to the sticky felt…
….before the other felt triangle was placed on top

For decoration he added coloured felt triangles…
For Little Miss Q he suggested  I make a ladybird….
…so that is just what I did!
{using a black marker}

They’ve had so much fun running around with them *smile*
And I’ve had a lovely time watching their play!

Happy crafting,
Kelly
