The finished butterfly with leaves and petals stuck to the wings and a border of sticky back plastic around the butterfly shape which is used to stick it to the window

We’ve had another day indoors with a poorly Jessica so have been bringing nature inside once again for our wild activities. We’ve made suncatchers before using sticky-back plastic and tissue paper.

I’m a big believer in the mantra “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing.” Rainy days mean puddles and puddles are there to be jumped in. As long as you have wellies on, that is. The girls know that once they have their wellies on then they can splash away to… Read More
