Getting a bit Christmassy

We have been doing lots of Christmassy things this week, as well  as meeting up with granny Margaret and grandad David. At pre-school, Isla has been practicing for her nativity play where she plays an angel. She has been singing all of the songs at home, such as 'We wish you a merry Christmas' and 'When Santa got stuck up the chimney' and 'Christmas pudding' with lots of cute actions. She was also practicing bowing today!

Evie got to meet Father Christmas this week at the toddler group party. She wasn't too fussed, and was more interested in getting back to riding in the toy cars after she had met him. We decorated a candle holder together at the party and she played with some play dough too.

Isla and I made a Christmas tree counting game and a Christmas tree matching game as well as some cut out snowflakes and paper chains at home. Evie has been enjoying playing with happyland, doing her animal puzzles and her shape sorting bus when she hasn't been rolling around with Isla on the floor or chasing her around the living room!

Here are Isla and Evie decorating the tree at the weekend:


I made some Christmassy play dough with glitter and peppermint in it using a recipe on the nurture store website. We made some Christmas trees with it and Isla wanted to make some squirrels too to live in the forest. Evie is starting to enjoy using play dough like her sister. She pulls little bits off and puts them inside other things or piles up little pieces into big mounds. Isla has also been using her play dough dentist set this week too. She has been full of energy and play dough has been good for occupying her in this exciting Christmassy season.

We went to look at the Christmas lights at the garden centre. They were really impressive although this photo only shows a slightly spooky looking Cinderella mannequin! We had a look at some reindeer, donkeys and goats and then headed for the main attraction of the tractors and playpark in the rain.
