It’s flower paint!

Max loves to use his dad’s tools. Screwdrivers, spanners and especially hammers! So when I came across flower pounding on Rhythm of the Home (love that site!) I knew we had to give it a try!

Max carried my little basket from when I was small, and we wandered around the garden choosing our flower palette. We picked lavender, bottle brush, pansies, love-in-the-mist and many others.

When I got the hammers out and helped Max lay his flowers on paper, with tea towels on top, he seemed rather curious! What would we use the hammer for?! Once he saw what to do, off he went – pounding away happily.

 

He kept peeking as he went, and when he saw what was happening cried ‘it’s flower paint!’

 

Flower paint indeed *grin*

Recipe: fairy wands

Mmm yum – these are such a quick, easy and yummy treat! All you need is a couple of sheets of puff pastry and cinnamon sugar. That it!

Thaw your pastry a little and cut the first sheet into 6 long strips. Twist your strips and then pop them on your baking tray. Next cut star shapes using a cookie cutter and squish them onto your twisted wand. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

 Bake for about 10 minutes at 180°. 

When I gave Master D one he asked me if we could make magic with them 🙂 Enjoy!

Thanks for reaidng, Kelly
