It has been so long since we wrote a blog post! I thought I'd share what we did yesterday as it's something T has enjoyed for a long time- taking things apart. This time it was our old printer.<br />
<br />
Obviously we have to check that there's nothing in there that could be dangerous. We also took away the old ink cartridges.<br />
<br />
We just provided him with screwdrivers of all sizes, scissors and a light over his head. He has spent hours taking all the bits apart and finding treasures. Motherboards seem to be of most interest as he says they look like mini cities.<br />

I found this very cute upcycling project <a href="http://www.brudiy.com/blog/posts/maceta-gatuna/">here</a>. You just use good, sharp scissors to cut a empty 1.5 l fizzy bottle to shape, paint the outside, let it dry and draw on features. This one is M's. I'm going to use the same idea to make T a bear one. I'll paint it brown and cut the ears as half circle shapes. You could do a monster, pigs, rabbit- any animal really.<br />

M has decided to sell her Sylvanian furniture. I have to admit she hasn't really played with it much and the most recent purchases may/ may not have been because I liked them! They are overpriced though so I'm quite pleased this stage is behind us.<br />
<br />
She's said she would prefer to make something her own. We've made the house together and M plans to make things for inside it over time, T has an awesome idea for how t make light shades. I've kept the hedgehog family and few pieces of Sylvanian furniture until then. While ours isn't as exact as the inspiration, we still like it.<br />
<br />
I took heaps of photos of the making process which involved a washing machine box, a craft knife, an entire roll of masking tape, paint and printed washi tape. The kittens moved in to the 2nd and 3rd floors too- but sadly I lost them : (<br />

M and T have been asking for kinetic sand for a while now. I don't really want to pay so much for so little of it so thought we'd have a go and making something similar. While this isn't as 'sticky' as the store bought stuff it's still really fun to play with, smells nice and holds its shape well.<br />
<br />
After looking around the www I came up with this recipe:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>5 cups sand( the finer ther better, we started sieving ours but gave up)</li>
<li>1.5 cups cornflour </li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon dish soap (e.g. Dawn Dishwashing Liquid)</li>
<li>water (about 1 cup)</li>
<li><i>optional</i>: 1 teaspoon Tea Tree Oil (for its antibacterial properties)</li>
<li><i>optional</i>: fine glitter </li>
</ul>
Just out it all in a big container and mix- adding the water a bit at a time. I mixed the dishwash with the water first.<br />
<br />
So that was them for the afternoon- nearly 2 hours of playing with it under the Winter sun : )<br />

I did this in two classrooms last week ( we made rainbows) and I bought home some of the left over materials. The idea is to sellotape clear book cover sticky side up to the table top. I put a white piece of paper under it to make it easier to see the colours. Stick pieces of cellophane onto the book cover- keeping in mind that it's hard to get off once it's in place. The kids loved this and they look really nice with light shining through them.<br />
<br />
We also adapted it slightly and drew using a permanent maker, on the smooth side of the book cover before peeling the backing off and taping it to the table. I didn't get a picture of that one finished. <br />

I love helping the kids with dress up costumes. This years school book character day they decided to go as Silky the flying cat and Mr Big nose from the Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton Treehouse books. The kids are obsessed with this series, they're fantastic, funny and creative and I can't recommend them enough as a read aloud book. Both have re-read all of the books to themselves since too- it's a great feeling hearing your kids laughing to themselves while reading.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It rained when we visited my mum in Wellington recently. I knew T
would enjoy this craft as it involved wrapping sticks with lots of
different coloured wool- it really is as simple as that. Once they're
all done, tie them together, hang a rock or other type of weight on the
end and find somewhere to hang it. We've hung ours at the front door. I like how it spins in the breeze and adds a bit of colour. Things are looking a bit dreary in the front garden right now- Winter is coming.<br />
<br />
You can see on our mobile that it's unraveling a bit- we probably should've glued the wool ends down when we made it ( we just knotted it instead). I will fix it one day.</div>

M found this idea in an old school journal.<br />
<br />
1. Draw thick lines of oil pastels on a page<br />
2. Turn that page over onto another blank piece of paper<br />
3. Write on the back<br />
4. Rainbow writing!<br />

I wanted to buy some, but as the link to buy them didn't work- I tired making some myself. They're not as easy as you might think! I cut a range of circles to size, threaded them on a ribbon, knotted the ribbon at the nose and tail ends and drew a face<br />

This morning T wanted to make his friend a house to play and sleep in. Dad was at Bunnings so he picked up a box for us to cover. We used a glue gun and attached pieces of felt and polar fleece. It's lined with an old piece of sheepskin. T thought it needed a chimney and windows. It's bright and cosy and he's very excited about it being used.</div>

M saw this house on www.aliexpress.com and had to have it. I let her as it was about $8 including postage, it suspect will come after we get the kittens but they also have a little soft bed each ( the yellow polka dot in the right of the top photo) that we bought from ali for $6 each.</div>

I bought a big bag of borax off trade me for making <a href="http://beckypiesky.blogspot.co.nz/2014/11/ninja-turtle-ooze.html">TMNT ooze</a>. I have googled things I can do with it and one of the ideas was this- it happened overnight, looks cute on our tree and was a big hit for our frozen fan!<br />
<br />
I'm happy to share the borax with local friends- just ask and I'll leave some in our letterbox for you : ) <br />
<br />
You need:<br />
<br />
Borax ( 1 tbsp)<br />
2 cups hot water<br />
A wide mouthed glass jar<br />
blue food colouring<br />
pipe cleaners ( we used blue)<br />
cotton<br />
a pencil <br />
<br />
Method <br />
<br />
Make a snowflake shape with cut up pipe cleaner and tie it together with the cotton.<br />
Mix the borax and the hot water so that the borax is dissolved. Add the blue food colouring.<br />
Tie the snowflake to the pencil and hang it in the jar ( see picture)<br />
Overnight the crystals will form. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
T has a Ninja turtle themed party next month. Today we made the ooze as favours for the kids from his class. Here's the recipe:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- PVA glue- either two small 4 oz bottles, or one large 7 oz</div>
- 1 Teaspoon of Borax - found in the laundry section ( I got my bag off trade me)<br />
- Green Food Coloring <br />
- 1/2 Cup Warm Water<br />
- Large Mixing Bowl and Spoon<br />
- Air-tight Container<br />
- Labels<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Squeeze the glue bottles into the large mixing bowl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Fill the empty glue bottles with water, swish it around, and pour into the bowl with the glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Stir well and add food coloring to create desired color. In our case, of course, that color is GREEN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. In a different container, spoon 1 tsp of borax into 1/2 cup warm water and stir. There will be some borax in the bottom of the water, that’s ok!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">Step 5: SLOWLY start to add the water to the glue mixture-make sure none of the borax granules get into the mixture. </span>Add
a little, mix with your hands, add a little, mix with your hands.
You’ll be surprised how quickly it starts to form, so don’t add a lot of
water all at once. Keep mixing with your hands until it isn’t sticky
anymore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I like how she turned out, I'm not great at stitching neatly so I'm pleased with my efforts.<br />

I have seen the uber talented Dee from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TinyEyesNZ?fref=photo">Tiny eyes</a> make these baby dolls, so thought I'd try and make one ( minus the hat as knitting is just waaay to hard for me).<br />

We had some local friends over for halloween tonight. I kept it simple, byo meat and salads, goody bags and lollies for the kids and then trick or treating. I didn't want to spend $ on decorations so used the ones I got last year and decorated the table with some of the kid's toy animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't have a huge problem with halloween. We walk to houses that are ok with it ( who normally have something hanging on their letterbox) and exchange treats. I ensure the kids take 1 lolly and use their manners and brush their teeth before bed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We see it as an opportunity to get people together and get creative with costumes and treats to give away. M and T have always loved dressing up. T's costume was a sheet with a wee hole cut for his face cut out and some black and white face paint. M's Elsa costume came off www.aliexpress for $11.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I let the kids draw with liquid chalk on the windows- I love T's bats. The <a href="http://beckypiesky.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/halloween-ghosties.html">lollipop ghosts</a> we made we well received- lots of fun : ).</div>

I've been making a doll for a friend's little girl at Christmas. I had the clothes made by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Dolls-Clothes-Boutique/181547648643769?fref=ts">this clever lady</a> as I have no idea how to do that. I watched a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61cV7TxF-K8">YouTube clip on how to make dolls hair</a> and I'm happy with how it came out.<br />
<br />
I have to stitch on her her face next. I've chosen to embroider it on as if I make a mistake, I can un-pick it. I'd considered painting it on but I'm too scared! I'll post pictures when she's all done.<br />

I'm super excited about helping out with the fairy grotto at school fair this year and can't wait to help put it all together. An idea our 'creative director' came up with is to sell little painted stones ( with proceeds to the school). So I've been painting and glittering stones : ).</div>

Both kids like Halloween- not surprising as they've always enjoyed dressing up and eating lollies. We went trick or treating the year before last which they loved so we will go again this year. I don't like the trick aspect. We actually go 'treat for treating' as I make/ buy them things to give out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year we made ghosts again, a couple of years ago I used ribbon and white fabric. This year I used loom bands and tissues and M and T drew the faces.</div>

Not very original I know- but M has decided that it would make her happy to dress up as Elsa this Halloween. I'm not sure what we're going to do yet, maybe a BBQ with friends, maybe trick or treating- but I guess it's important to have the right shoes he he.<br />
<br />
To make Elsa shoes you will need:<br />
A pair of slip on shoes ( that I got for $3)<br />
Leftover bathroom paint ( a light blue)<br />
Glitter paint (bought for $2.50)<br />
<br />
Cuuuuutee!<br />
<br />
Now I have to work on T's request for a 'Batman Box Troll' costume ; )<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't have great love for our kitchen. It's old, the formica bench is warn and the cupboards and drawers don't shut properly. While I might reeeeeally dislike it, I also believe that we should appreciate what we have-and I saw in it an opportunity to be creative!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping ( everything crossed) that we'll get a new kitchen and floor early next year so this is my chance to have a bit of fun. I chose 3 colours of Resene test pots I liked, a red a turquoise and a mint colour. I drew a rough plan ( that I ended up abandoning) and then painted each colour, one at a time. I didn't bother with masking tape etc- I didn't have enough patience or time for that!<br />
<br />
There's a pattern and then there isn't- it was more about making sure colour got on the worst looking floor boards. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like it , the husband tolerates it and the kids are its biggest fans : )<br />

Today T's lovely teacher gave me some animal strips to bring home to talk to him about. He's been off sick 2 days this week and when he went back yesterday he found his day a bit hard going. He was asked to draw the strips 1- 10 at school, something he found tricky at the time. She's super supportive and knows that I'm happy to follow up things at home with him, so I'll share what we did together.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because it was after a day at school I thought I'd make it a bit easier to have him use stickers for this. I bought them at the 123 Mart. If you wanted to make these this too you would need to choose stickers carefully making sure that there were 10 of one type of sticker, 9 of another, 8 of another and so on. You could use any really, small animals, plain dots- whatever you find.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut yellow card into strips, each space is about 1.5cm square. There's a dotted line after 5 to help them learn what 5 looks like. In the following video they use a 1-10 strip, you could easily make one but we didn't- we
used the 10 strip at the top and made combinations of other strips underneath it 9+1, 8+2, 7+3 etc.<br />
<br />
As you can see from the photos, he also liked making 1-10 'steps' : ) </div>

Here's a video that explains how to use them to help learn addition facts to 10<br />
<a href="http://nzmaths.co.nz/sites/default/files/Animations/animal_strips3.swf">http://nzmaths.co.nz/sites/default/files/Animations/animal_strips3.swf</a><br />
<br />
Here's a lesson copied from the NZ maths website.<br />
<br />
In this session students are introduced to animal strips as a way to communicate addition equations.<br />
<ol>
<li>Show the students the animal strips. Ask the students:<i> how many animals are on the strip? </i>(6)</li>
<li>Students should be able to recognise the patterns and answer
instantly, rather than counting each animal. Show the students that the
dotted line after the 5th animal
can help them recognise the number. </li>
<br /><br /><img alt="animalstrip. " src="http://www2.nzmaths.co.nz/Algebra/images/animalstrip.gif" height="43" width="248" /><br /><br />
<li>Show the students an animal strip. Ask the students: <i>how many animals are on the strip? </i>(7)</li>
<li>Show the students another animal strip and ask the students: <i>how many animals are there altogether? </i></li>
<br /><br /><img alt="animalstripQ. " src="http://www2.nzmaths.co.nz/Algebra/images/animalstripQ.gif" height="43" width="373" /><br /><br />
<li>Encourage the students to count on. i.e. 8, 9. </li>
<li> Write under the animal strip the number sentence” 7 and 2 makes 9”. </li>
<li>Make copies of the animal strips and ask pairs or individual
students to make their own addition equations. Encourage them to count
on as they add the animals. Then ask the students to write the number
sentence underneath.</li>
<li> Give students animal strips appropriate for their knowledge stage,
for example facts to 5, facts with 5, doubles, or facts to 10.</li>
</ol>
