Little M was five this week. She is tiny so she doesn't look it. She has really enjoyed starting school and has turned into a different girl - she has less angst and temper and more understanding and cooperation. She has a close circle of friends unlike Big Sis who is friends with everyone.
She asked for three friends to come and play.
What do you want to do? I asked...
Cutting and sticking with my friends, she said.
Shall we have a crafternoon, I said.
She laughed because she got the pun and said, yes.
So Sunday was a crafternoon with crowns, treasure boxes and beady bracelets.
It cost me the treasure boxes, the rest I trawled from around the house. I was sort of glad to put a dent in some of it.
They all had such fun and attacked creative play in such different ways. It took me to my Primary school teaching days. I found it so interesting to observe children playing by standing back and not interfering.

My best friend bought her this skirt for twirling, she didn't know I had made this party cardigan, we are a bit psychic like that!!
Happy Birthday Little M.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Little M! Although at 5 and at school, really you are not little but actually quite big. Your party looks like lots of fun, I love your treasure box, you have decorated it so beautifully, you must have worked really hard on that. Isn't your Mummy very clever to have made you such a pretty cardigan :)

Happy belated birthday to your little one. It seems like she had a great day, making some wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for a party! I celebrated my birthday this week too and that looks like a good way to party!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your little one! I love these kind of parties. My little boys not so much but we compromise and do bit of party games and a bit of creative messing about, usually cookie decorating or similar. A proper swirly skirt is something every girl needs!
ReplyDeleteLittle M looks as if she had a fantastic time. What a great idea she had. How well matched was your birthday cardigan which looks lovely by the way...
ReplyDeleteLittle M is just a delight, so sweet. I love that she wanted to cut and stick, how cute. I am so glad she had a wonderful day.

Ah, that's lovely! Happy birthday to Miss M, she's a real cutie. My daughter also requested craft parties, much to my total delight. This year she wants to go bowling. I think it's going to cost me more! :-) x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miss M!!! The skirt is such a beautiful match to the cardigan isn't it. A crafternoon party sounds like a great idea to me. xx
