Yesterday , as a very special treat, we got Emily a magazine.
She chose the Charlie & Lola magazine, and as we already have many Charlie & Lola books and other books illustrated by Lauren Child I was really quite happy with that choice.
There were lots of pages to colour, stick sticky stickers and cut wriggly lines (the magazine came with wriggly plastic scissors and some crayons),
but our favourite were the fish & mermaid pictures to cut out.
We decided to make an ocean diorama from a cardboard box,
we started to cut out the shapes and stick them to the background :
We even made a little bed out of tissue paper with a sandpaper headboard:
The pink & sandpaper table complete with a plate of fish & wriggly chips:
We enjoyed making this so much that we will start making these as part of our country studies for geography, just imagine all the possibilities!
What did you do today?
Have a lovely weekend!

So cute! My son made a diorama in daycare just yesterday (aquarium theme), and the kids all loved it. Think I may try and do some more of these with the kids.
That gives me an excuse to buy shoes, right? To get the boxes?
That looks so sweet!
We used to make those in school. They are SO much fun. Love yours. What a great way to enjoy an afternoon.
Lovely!
Oh, how cute! I love dioramas. The bed is so cute!
Thank you for visiting my blog!!
Charlie and Lola magazine is our favourite too. We haven`t bought it for a while… These mermaids are lovely.. maybe we should have a special treat tomorrow
