Paper snowflakes and conker webs

For our last meeting in November, we made lots of paper snowflakes, and some "conker webs" ( see tutorials here, here & here).

To make a conker web, you need a dry conker, in which you make several holes around with a sharp needle, and then push in some cocktail sticks. 

Then you take a piece of wool and wrap it around the sticks, going round and round until you feel like changing colour. It's very easy and gives lovely results.

The children also enjoyed playing with bricks, listening to a very lively rendition of "We're going on a bear hunt" and helping with the sweeping.
