Mummy says we can put glue on the window!!!

Posted on July 15, 2010July 15, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

When the girls heard about this fun window collage activity, which I discovered via the Crafty Crow, they couldn’t believe their ears…

They were actually being told to put glue on the window! They looked at me as though I’d gone mad or been reading too many Roald Dahl books. Madness is part true (makes life more interesting!) and Roald Dahl has been featuring high on the bedtime reading… with the entire family piled on Charlotte’s bed the other night reading, through side splitting, shocked hysterics, ‘The Twits’.

Anyway, back to the sticky stuff. Wednesday morning started like this…

Tissue paper is everywhere! The masterpiece is not yet complete, but I’ll post an update when it is – that is if I don’t end up stuck to the ceiling!

Glue, glue, glorious glue…

Snip, snap, I’ll have a bit of this and a bit of that…

But, when will it be my turn? I’d love to tear off a little corner and have a taste… ewwwww
