I’m not really complaining, but being away on holiday then having the kids around all day hasn’t left me with much time to make things for myself. Instead I’ve had an extra pair of hands to ‘help’. So this week I’ve decided to share a few of my favourite projects made by Mummy and Tommy. Not all are original ideas, 'Mister Maker' is a big favourite in our house, but where they are ‘Mummy Maker’ I’ve included brief explanations.
Space alien city
Relief Giraffe
Draw outline on black /brown paper then rip up small pieces of masking tape into ‘spots’ and stick on. Paint all over in yellow / orange. When dry, remove tape and draw on features.
Concertina Bee
Cut two ovals at the same time- one from yellow and one from black.
Draw curved lines on the yellow at approx 1cm spacings leaving more at either end.
Cut along the lines.
Separate into two sets of alternate stripes and stick one set on either side of the black.
For the wings, make a long and thin concertina from tracing paper. Cut a slot in the top of body and poke wings through. Fold in half and stick top edges together.
