Tonight’s Christmas craft was this Gingerbread house. Ronan and Maddox had fun but wished it was edible so it could be eaten later. Maybe we will have time next month to make a real gingerbread house to fulfill their wish. I am not sure how easy it will be to find a gingerbread house kit here in England. So far I have not seen one and that would mean we would have to make one from scratch. Could be a fun adventure with gingerbread and sweets! If all else fails and it crumbles, we can eat the evidence.

Today Maddox brought home a Christmas wreath that he made yesterday with his class. The parents of his reception class were invited to stay in the morning to help them with the Christmas craft activities they were doing with the kids in Nursery. Maddox got to hand paint on a Christmas tree, make a decoration for the tree, decorate part of a snowman, fill in the colour on Santa’s sleigh, and make a Christmas wreath. There was lots of paper, paint, glue, and glitter involved and much fun was had by all. I really enjoyed getting to spend the special time with Maddox in his class.
