Creative morning

We managed a lovely spot of art this morning.  Evan and autumn both made clay objects and added the funny foam sparkly topping to it,  that we got as a Christmas present.  Evan intended on making an Octopod,  but the structure couldn't withstand the arms,  so it became a mimic octopus instead. Autumn made a horse which became a unicorn. Evan used the thumbpot technique to make the octopus body,  and pipe cleaners to create the apatures beneath the clay,  as did autumn for the unicorn.

They both expressed a wish to make faerie homes in the woods,  so we popped out behind the house to the ancient woodland to find a good spot.  A small clearing became the setting.  Evan chose a small structure on a tree to make a faerie home.  Autumn made a bed,  and created a spikey roof to spike the bottoms of dragons to keep the faeries safe.   This was inspired by our time at forest school last week.
