Monster Feet DIY

Hat Attack

HOW TO PLAY 

- Choose one person to be the hat guarder

- Guarder places hats on the ground a little distance apart

(& braces themselves)

- Stealers wait at a distance.

- On the count of 3 the Stealers are off!

- The guarder has to try stop the Stealers from snatching a hat.

- When all the stealers have snatched a hat they must put them on and  the guarder must chase after them to whip them off their heads.

- The winner is the last stealer wearing their hat!

HAVE FUN!

Bird Garland

This little bird garland is so simple to make even a two year old can do it - as demonstrated by our glamorous little assistant! You can easily adapt the colour and shape to whatever you fancy. You could make an autumnal garland by using oranges, golds and yellows and cutting out leaf shapes or cut out letters to make a name or message garland. Ours adorns Stevie's bedroom wall but they'd be great for a party. We're currently planning a running horses garland which will hopefully appear here soon. Enjoy! K&T xx

Spoon Puppets

Elf asked for a puppet show for her birthday party and so they came over to my house one afternoon and we had a lot of fun creating these crazy little characters who are each based on her and her friends. The resulting show was a big success and the kids even laughed at our terrible jokes!

You'll need -

a wooden spoon

thin card

a pen

scissors

a glue gun and glue sticks 

pipe cleaners

coloured tape (optional)

fabric scraps

buttons or tiddly winks for eyes

wool for hair

jewels and feathers for decoration

Now you're read to decorate!

We used scraps of fabric to fashion dresses, sleeves and aprons and glued them all on with the glue gun (What a genius invention!) We also glued on sequins and plastic gems for some extra sparkle.

For the hair we loosely wound some wool, tied it off and glued it on. Then we added hair accessories to make them come to life. We had a lot of fun making these guys! Kx
