It's kinder holidays and my
desk is pretty much the same as it was last week. Also, I'm quite tired and am having problems stringing a sentence together. So this is what Audrey & I have been doing this week while Henry sleeps.
Making crayons. There's different instructions for this all over the internet. We just broke up some old crayons into a non stick muffin tray, baked them at 125 C for about 10 minutes. They set in the pan and I put them in the freezer to firm properly. They had a very pleasing sheen as well as pretty rainbow colours. Fun!
Audrey's been asking to do this one for ages. I think she saw it on Playschool. We mixed some sand with food colouring and sprinkled it onto glue to colour some of her drawings. Less fun for me (argh! food colouring everywhere!) But the sand was quite attractive.
One last thing, I'm really (really) behind on replying to emails. I'm so sorry if you haven't heard from me. There's a long weekend coming up and I'm hoping to get back on track then.
