Paper lanterns at the Just So Festival

One of the highlights of the Just So festival is the paper lantern parade on the Saturday night. All day on the Friday and Saturday families had been busy in the mess tent, weaving, gluing and sticking to make lanterns from a combination of willow and tissue paper, and by the Saturday night 360 paper lanterns had been made for the evening parade. The lanterns are easy to make and are a magical craft for the winter solstice, Halloween or Bonfire Night.

In previous years we’ve had jelly lucky dip inside a pumpkin and in a cauldron, which the kids squish through (if they dare!) to grab sweets which are hidden at the bottom. This year we are going with a sensory tub full of green and orange jelly with some ghoulish treasures to discover and scoop out.
