Advent Calendars

You all now have the final product. I thought you might like to see the process! Addie and Dries did remarkably well, sticking with it far longer than I thought they would. And, from the expression on Addie's face, loving every minute!

Eight white, eight red, eight green. Twenty-four toilet rolls. Each. I honestly thought this would be a project spread over a few days, but Addie and Dries just kept churning them out, and didn't flag until the last three or four each, at which point I decided we may as well finish, and I stepped in to help.

Busy, absorbed. It's fun to see them so focussed on their work.

Of course Fenna was part of the play, though she was given the simpler paper (taped to the table to prevent it falling to the floor, accidentally or -- could it be? -- deliberately!)

Ada did three or so before she decided she'd rather paint the table, her hands, the chair, Fenna, Fenna's chair. It was when she started to eat the paint decorate her face that I called it quits for Ada and the paint brush! She had fun while it lasted, though!
