Getting Crafty!

Home made paint

12 tablespoons of cornflour. Mix in 1 cup of cold (tap) water til smooth. Then add 3 cups of boiling water. It will thicken and go clear. Separate into different cups/bowls and add food colouring.

Super easy, non toxic...not nice to eat though! Easy clean off table and clothes!

It made heaps so a half batch should be enough!

One of my old shirts on backwards with a few pegs makes a great paint shirt!
Real men wear pink don't they??





Some for the dog...
and some for me!
Finished Mummy.....can I have some more paper please!

LOL - you can definitely tell you're a teacher AJ, the way you've pegged up Aden's artwork to dry! Love it.

And am just a little green that it's winter and you can put Aden outside!

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers.
