Dinosaur world

After doing some Dinosaur colour ins at the library, we decided to make a dinosaur world! A quick shop for some supplies - a their box and the dinosaurs! and then a quick walk to go and pick up some rocks, sticks, leaves, bar.
A very simple and cheap (espeically if you already had dinosaurs) activity and was fun to make and has kept her entertained for a while :)

Preschool pre writing skills

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Secondly, I've been a little slack due to exhaustion and so much to do, I'm feeling much better and ready to blog some more :)
Lately, Lumpy has been asking to do "home work" so a quick google found some pre - writing fine motor skills work sheets. She has done a few of these, and loves them (and NAGS to do them alll day!!). After a lovely play date this morning (and a wonderful rare nap) she asked AGAIN for hoem work - the printer did not work!! the photocopier did. So i made a few sheets, however decided she needed outdoor play. I Made her a seek and find list, gave her a small glass jar and sent her to the yard while I prepared dinner- this was a very big hit with Miss Lumpy!

I am certainly no artist!

Her finds!

Sydney trip.

In October we took a short mini break to Sydney! It was very very busy and very fun (and very smokey - they had the Blue Mountain fires at the time)- we managed to get an amazing price on flights (as long as we only had carry on luggage and on fly on set dates).
