Colour swatch ombre wrapping

 Colour swatches are AMAZING in so many ways! Beautiful to the eye, useful for so many activities and did i mention FREE!!

We picked these ones up at our local Bunnings and used our butterfly hole punch to make a stack of tiny coloured butterflies. Tara sorted the colours as best she could from lightest to darkest and glued them to a brown paper package for her cousin.

The latest OMBRE trend can even become a part of learning! Tara also discovered the remains of the colour swatches made great butterfly stencils to keep for a rainy day!



Packing material play

We had a parcel arrive full of these packing peanuts that i stored for a rainy day and when Tara found them we got out a mat and started building some structures. If your lucky enough to stumble upon these, with just a touch of glue these make great igloo's or tunnels
Then they were turned into Antarctica with icebergs galore!

We added some ships,submarines and boats and played some great inventive games

Bottle top-lady bugs

These cute little lady bugs are a fun way to use up your leftover bottle tops-we have a huge collection that we will be using for craft in the next few weeks. I used permanent marker to draw on the spots and head while Tara glued on the googly eyes. Fun to use for imaginative play afterwards
