New paper chains
Apologies for a repeat of a previous 12 days activity from
2011, but Eilir was very keen to do this again. It's funny how kids latch on to
the familiar and want to return to activities they've enjoyed, turning them
into new family traditions. We used our original ones again last year but they
were looking pretty tatty when we brought them out of the attic this time
round.
Eilir has a character that he created that he draws everywhere
(and on everything) called 'Big face' (see the Christmas card he made me), so
he was especially keen to have a paper chain version. It took a few attempts to
get it right (his first one was overly complicated with added speech bubbles
etc that made no sense when cut out), but he was really pleased with the final
result. I made strange skating girl shapes, which Eilir added to with a snowman
and a smiley face wearing a Christmas hat (that looked like funky mushrooms
when cut out).
