Another week of calm reading and learning had flown by
again, at the famous Chelsea Children’s
With abundance they flocked and excitement they
smiled, in the frenzy of their post holiday cheer. The mums, the kids
and baby brothers too, all gathered around and huddled tight.
On the colourful little tables and little sized chairs, is where today’s arty challenge lay ahead.
Nessy the Loch Ness and Moris the Mankiest Monster, or Yeti, to be more precise, were on today’s menu of fun, through the charms of the stand up pop up card.
Glitter pens, scissors and a multitude of coloured cards, adorned the tables and said hello to the floors.
The kids and the parents carefully followed instructions and started to put together their very own pop up mythical creation. Focus and dedication was a treat to behold.
The end results were a feast of upright Yeti’s, with
very white hairy bodies and big sparkly eyes, to very wiggly sea snakes
with sharp pointed fins and big glittery scales. We had layers of cold
crushing sea waves and pop up winter pine trees on a backdrop of the
sparkly night sky. The results, were a feast for the eyes!
But before you could say boo to a ghost, the hours had
passed. The kids said their big thank you’s and whizzed out of the room
while proudly holding their, still very wet and wonderful creations!
Indeed, it was magical.
But one thing is for sure, other than the millions of tiny paper pieces needed to be cleaned in the end, is that when I go to sleep tonight and I fly into the magical night sky, I too, will be dreaming of cuddly big Yeti’s and the smell of fresh scented pine trees.
I think Christmas, may be on it’s way after all...
That’s all folks!
