Singing in the rain....

The boys are both Peppa Pig fans, so when we had a rainy afternoon they wanted to go out & jump in puddles! As its not too cold yet it was great to let them out without having to waterproof them from head to toe. Joseph (4.5) opted to wear his croc's but Daniel (3) wanted to wear his George Pig wellies. 

They had great fun finding (&jumping in) all our local puddles. It was really nice to be able to let them get as wet as they liked, as I'm always telling them not to walk through puddles etc. In the end Daniel splashed so much his wellies were full when we got home!

I also managed to get a little video of the boys singing & dancing. 

Hopefully we will get the chance to do this again before the colder weather sets in.

P.S. this is the first time I've added a video to the blog so please let me know if it doesn't work.

Elastic Band Guitars

Joseph (4.5) asked to make an elastic band guitar, after seeing the idea on cbeebies. They used a tissue box but as we didn't have one we raided the recycling box. 

I wrote a G on the cheese triangle box to reinforce G for guitar. Joseph was able to stretch most of the elastic bands on himself, only asking for help on a couple of the tighter ones. 

Daniel didn't want to join in so Joseph made 2 so that they could each play with them. The cardboard one soon collapsed, however the black plastic tub is still going strong a few days later.
