A little crafty idea for kids - Number 1

Here at 'Friends of Florence Park' HQ we thought it might be nice to post a series of crafty projects for you and your kids to have a look at, so to start us off..

 Florence Park stick people pictures........

When you next pop to the park take a little bag and get collecting. A few sticks, feathers, snail shells and leaves of different colours and shapes are perfect. When you get home draw a little person on a piece of paper and dress them up with all the bits you have collected. Its worth checking snail shells  - our hat didn't hang around to see the finished ensemble!

Florence is covered in a light frost this morning on the school run!
The grass is crunching and the trees are sparkling just a little.

Very much hoping for a coat of snow tomorrow but here's some pics of today.
