Happy Thoughts

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat

Yes, it'll be here before you can say Jack Robinson folks! 

Why not have a go at making these paper reindeers and pocket advent calendar garlands with your children?

I'd quite like to see those bright paper fellows on display all year round, wouldn't you?

Colour-in Carnival

Love these colour-in animal prints and posters from  

Weekday Carnival.

Colouring Cloths

I spotted Marielle Bazard's colour-in tablecloths a while back and am pleased to see them in a number of shops in France. All her designs (boy, girl, mixed, birthday) are printed on 100% cotton (135 X 95 cm) and come with 12 washable felt tip pens. They're obviously great for long summer holidays and rainy days but I also like the idea of a birthday colouring-in activity which once finished could be displayed on a wall, then washed and reused over and over.

Marielle's tablecloth kits are available here and here.
