Ciara is getting good at drawing circles now, and shows a lot of interest like Eden did with drawing - always asking for pencils and paper to draw. So this week I showed her how to make faces, and she turned her circles into faces.
This is our second recipe we try for coloured popcorn, and it worked out a lot better than the first, we got the recipe here:
Coloured popcorn
Niamh mixing the popcorn into the pink mixture - this would be great for parties.
But we used it on our spring trees for blossoms.
Niamh's tree with blossoms falling down.
Ciara's tree, she wouldn't let me help her at all - such and independant little girl.
The girls music certificates came through a few weeks ago, and Eden heard the good news that she will be doing grade 4 in two months, she is flying through the grades and a lot of work needs to be done in these two months.
This weeks narration was from the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5000. Eden and Niamh did the story from the perspective of the boy whose fish and bread Jesus used for the miracle, it has been fun for them to write these stories from different perspectives.
We also had some writing practice in flour. She is actually great with writing all the letters I show her to write, aswell as all the numbers, but all kids love playing a bit messy, and she had fun just forming the letters in flour.
Every time we make a new colour playdough it renews their interest in playing with it, and who can resist this lovely bright orange playdough. Thanks to gel food colourings the possibilities are endless.
She had fun making biscuits with her big sister, as well as rolling the balls for the biscuits.
And I think we have another budding little artist, she spends hours just like her big sister Eden used to when she was that age.
