Junk modelling! Only drawback is that we have to keep the creations

for ages - on show in the dining room! However, both children *love*

Oh yes - this is definitely favourite activity in this house - acrylic spray

paints are brill if you really want to go to town - they cover plastic

bottles really well - we've made all sorts of fab things.

thanks for the ideas ) we did bake in the end - I have to say I HATE

play/salt dough - it makes such a mess and gets trodden in squished

everywhere - i think we've probably done it hmmm twice in 7 years ;o)
