The great thing about having a craft box stocked up with materials is that when the creative urge strikes you can make your vision a reality.
Big was bored today. It’s getting near the end of a two week school holiday and she was mooching around, in need of an idea she said. I suggested she have a look at the craft shelf to she what she could find and hey presto, a short while later she presented me with these:
That’s me with the long swooshing shirt. She’s the one in the red dress.
She re-arranged the sofa cushions to make a theatre and put on a puppet show. Out of boredom comes creativity.
And it seems lollypop stick puppets are The Thing this week. Helen Rawlinson made some fantastic ones from a Boden catalogue, which you should go see. Have you got some lollysticks? What could you make?

Love the creativity with no boundaries!
I have to say, I love the swooshing skirt
The kids at preschool love making puppets with paddlepop sticks – recently there has been a surge of fairy puppets for the fairy garden. Such fun, and really creative – I love it when they use them in their play for shows etc too.
