Ciara has started painting simple pictures, she did really well trying to paint the right colours in the right places.
Eden has started sewing her many badges on her Brownie sash. The only problem is the sash seems to have cardboard in the middle so it wasn't that easy for her to sew it's going to take a while to get them all on.
I bought this magic maize to keep Jude occupied while the girls do their music, but I think that Ciara will enjoy it more. The maize comes in many different colours and once you wet it in a bit of water it sticks to each other and on paper, so it is really easy to stick on the design.
The finished crocodile.
Jude has started his outerspace study, but of course the others also want to learn about it too, so I will extend it on a higher level for the bigger girls.
Finger painting fun.
Eden mixed all the colours for this and I really liked the finished painting - the children are so good with painting for a long time, and it gave me the chance to have a nearly two hour long sleep this afternoon.
I have been at quite a loss as to reading books for Eden's age. The library seems to be filled with so much that is just inappropriate for her age, if it is not about magic and sorcery, then it is about girls who are popular and image conscious. So I am very grateful for a friend putting us onto these classic starts. I have ordered quite a few of them, they are abridged classics for younger children. Eden is really enjoying this one, and she is narrating each chapter as she goes along for writing practice, and I must say she is doing a sterling job, capturing all the excitement of the story. I won't ask her to do it with all the books, that may become tedious, but for now she enjoys writing about it.

Eden,
You are so fortunate to be reading Treasure Island, I enjoyed that as a child. Reading good books is so wonderful, takes you into another life and realm.
Enjoy.
Lots of love from nana.
