Science Fun

This is Mr T's favourite book at the moment, he has been doing lots of the experiments and the crafts from it.

This week he and Miss E decided they wanted to make the climbing bugs.

They both chose the ladybird type beetle as they decided the lizard looked too tricky to draw.

Here is Mr T's which he drew all by himself.

Miss E coloured hers on her own but I drew it and cut it out for her.  They were really easy to make, all you needed was card, a metre of string, a plastic drinking straw, 2 beads a 1p and some selotape.  

Here is Mr T demonstrating how it climbs up!

Of course when the beads came out Miss E decided she needed to make some bracelets and the beetle was forgotten.

If you look closely you can see one of my current knitting projects, and of course the obligatory "pink Princess" who joins in most things around here at the moment!

Another pumpkin

My first pumpkin is on the way to its new owner and I have knitted a couple more.  Another one from the same pattern but this time in the baby size and a second one in newborn size from this lovely pattern.  I'm not sure which I prefer although the berry one is much quicker and easier to knit as its all done in one piece.  I've been back online and ordered some more yarn so I am planning on producing a field full of these in time for autumn!

Mr T has been busy with his Hama beads and has made these for a custom order, they just need threading up and they will be ready to hang on the Christmas tree in a few months time.
