Happy Mother's Day!

We've spent the week making lots of lovely presents and cards for our Mummys! I wanted to make things where the children could really get involved in and enjoy the process.
We made truffles that had crushed biscuits in them, it was lots of fun making the crumbs:

So was mixing and rolling the truffles, as well as decorating a cone to put them in:

Painting the cards and a flower pot was also fun! We went to the garden and I let the children choose which flowers they wanted to put in their flower pot.

The end result looked pretty good too:

Chocolate playdough heaven!

Some of my favourite blogs have been posting lots of great playdough ideas in the last few weeks. It inspired me to do something a little bit different, so we used a recipe on Nuturestore and made some 'chocolate' playdough.

At first I set up it up as 'mud' with some pebbles and tractors for my 3 year old mindee to play with:

This was fun but nowhere near as big a hit as making cakes and chocolates with it was:

 Even my older 2 had great fun with this one.

We'll definitely be taking the Playdough Pledge next week and finding more interesting recipes to use!
