dinosaurs and collages


isn't this just the prettiest dinosaur you've ever seen.


he was part of a great workshop we went on, "dino robot modelling", this is the finished robot, and once made it had to go through a slalom course of plant pots, reverse into a parking space and drive up a ramp. our dino called "dino rocka" was second fastest, steered by E the superstar dino driver - to much delight we won some vouchers to spend in a cd/dvd shop.


yesterday we made a huge "famous five" collage, as it was too wet to have an adventure


instead we imagined being on a boat,


sleeping in Kirrin cottage,

or exploring Kirrin island
now where's that recipe book, I think we need more picnic food.......

  6. A very bright coloured dinosaur indeed! You've been very busy even if you couldn't get outside.

  7. What awesome fun! I would have given my eye teeth to go adventuring to Kirrin Island as a child - in fact, I STILL would! Hope the picnic food was good and there was hunks of fruit cake, a nice bit of ham, some crispy macaroons and plenty of ginger beer to wash it down with!
