A good day

Danielle and Daddy came over to cook with Aunt Julie and me. They were invited to a friend's house tonight and offered to make dinner to bring along. They made spaghetti and meatballs.

Danielle enjoys helping and mixing.

Then forming these little meatballs onto the baking pan.

After that was done, it was time for art. Thanks to http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/ we made a winter collage. A winter picture, gluing twigs to blue paper to make a tree.

Then we glued on cotton for snow, and sprinkled glitter over the top for a frosty sparkle.

And thanks to http://www.deepspacesparkle.blogspot.com/ we made another winter scene. This time, painting the tree trunk and branches with brown paint on blue paper.

And creating "bark" with Cray-Pas oil pastels, and then adding the snow with a paint brush and white paint across the bottom of the paper and small clumps of "snow" on the tree branches.

Wheee...snowflakes splattered with a brush dipped in white paint.

A red hightlight was added. A red fox.

and a red cardinal up in the tree.

Well done, Danielle!
