Yesterday I thought I would be all organised and have something prepared for the children to do. I was inspired by making butterflies at playgroup and decided we needed some to brighten up the place. I found these ace pipe cleaners in the pound shop. ("why are they called pipe-cleaners?"...other child demonstrates cleaning a pipe, or a recorder). Erm...one child made one butterfly (at playgroup they were decorated with spots of screwed up tissue paper); one child ran round wealding a packet of pipe cleaners as a weapon....O well.
