Live while slurping cereal, on our tiny tv - oh the enjoyment of that - anyhow, I digress... CBeebies was drifting into our bedroom, which is next to the sitting room, when suddenly Dylan ran into the room. DYLAN: do we have sponges!? MUMMY: yes! D: do we have paper!? M: yes D: do we have paint!? M: yes D: can we do printing like Mister Maker!? M: um, well, yes, I suppose so... So a sleepy mummy drags herself out of bed, makes herself a coffee, and do you know? We had a marvelous time! We ended up doing potato prints, as I couldn't find sponges after all. But it was fun to remember the enjoyment that can be got out of the simple potato print. And as usual I stayed on doing a few extra, when Dyl lost interest and started throwing his dinos round the kitchen (one of his favourite games, of which I recently asked him: what exactly is the point of that game? To which he replied: To make noise! Of course!)
Here are some of mine. I had a go at some patterns, as I'm doing a book at work with lots of patterns in and having sone quite a bit of research for it have been feeling inspired to try some out. I might even try again sometime...
And here is Dylan's. As you can see, he got a bit bored of printing and started "smoodging"!
