Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Britains is a respected brand with a huge heritage and close ties to manufacturers across the farming world which appeals both to children and adult collectors. This year, they are focusing on Big Tractors and they are adding new products such as the Farm Building Set and, at the other end of the spectrum, an adorable Pig Pen set, a Cattle Feeder set and a huge new range of farm implements.
A huge welcome to Week 22 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! Last week, we had a busy half term and hope you also had a great one. We didn’t have much link up last week due to half term and I hope this week you can join us again. Also we will be using InLinkz instead of linky which is so much better to use! This week I am featuring sheep crafts.
Last week, one of my son’s classmates brought a hedgehog made out of a book to school. It was made by her and her mum. She was so proud of it and brought it to school to show everyone. Since then Mr K had been pestering me to get him a book to make it.
We looked around our home but most of the children’s books are paperbacks or books we are still reading. So earlier this week, I went to the shops to look for cheap hardback book for this project. Luckily, I managed to find a bargain from my local bookstore at just 50p per book. They are new too! I bought one book for Mr K and one for myself as I also fancied trying to make one.
After googling it online, I found this easy folding method that can make into any animal. This is our book folding sheep.
As this coming Chinese lunar year is the Year of the Sheep, I will be sharing different types of sheep crafts with you! This is my second craft for sheep and we have used paper plates to make a sheep.
Need an hour extra lie-in this weekend? Is your children getting up too early? We have found the perfect solution for Mr K who wakes up at 6.30 am every morning. We have trialled using a proper alarm clock but it didn’t work with him as the alarm is too loud and he can’t understand how to read the clock properly. He is six and their school has just started to teach them time.
