As with all our cooking, Riley was very pleased with himself! And like most pre-schoolers, a good few spoonfuls never made it into the cases and went straight into his mouth!!!
Our second project of the day turned into a bit of an epic, particularly when you consider Riley's normal concentration span. I decided to let him loose with the glitter glue again after he had so much fun a couple of weeks ago - totally open ended, no finished result in mind. Well he squirted until the tubes were empty, then mixed it all up with a glue spreader.
Then he started asking for collagey bits - pretty much everything in the box! Craft foam flowers, pom-poms, sequin confetti stars, foam shapes, little bits of shiny paper and foil, chocolate coin foils - he kept asking for more and more, and they all got squished into the glitter glue until you could hardly see it anymore. He was at it for ages and thought it was absolutely wonderful. Here's the finished piece:
And I was very happy to be informed that Mickey Mouse is in the centre of the page! He's purple and a bit wonky, but once you know he's there you can spot him. I'm so pleased that Riley's starting to create 'things' under his own steam finally. I can't wait to see what he'll make next.
