After a busy morning of tennis we hotfooted it over to Dinky Doodlers (formerly Messy Monsters) to get arty, run by the very smiley Alex. While most of us (with some imagination and energy) could set up some simple arts activities at home, they often create more mess and stress than actual art (such as my attempt at home-made finger paints) so getting messy elsewhere is always going to be an attractive option. Throughout our session the group were constantly entertained as we covered a wide range of activities from sticking a picture of Humpy Bumpy (sic) where Mummy thought the black strips were for a short brick wall instead of arms and legs (oops! but I was tired!)
Junior also had a wonderful time squidging jelly balls (I knelt on one, not recommended!) and generally experimenting with putting glue in places it was never intended to go and all I can say is thank goodness for overalls. We also attempted to create two little dicky birds (cardboard cones with feathers) but this was too advanced for our little ones so mummies got busy making two sticky, icky birds which made us feel quite proud! We are considering signing up, as the group was lovely however our budget stretches to just 2 weekly (prepaid) classes and as we are checking babyballet out tomorrow and Diddidance on Thursday we will wait until tomorrow to decide.
