Good fun had by all!

It could have been a recipe for disaster!!!!! 8 kids age 6 and 7 in my house all giddy and excited, me not feeling well at all and it was the first time any of them had been to a craft party!
It actually went very well in the circumstances! Evan had a good time and they all got stuck in, even the boys. One of the boys said he didnt like crafting!!! He soon changed his mind when I showed him what we would be making!
Here is the table set up before the chaos began! I bought this table and chairs for when I get my new craft studio built as I will be offering small classes at home.
Of course I got them wound up by telling the boys they would be making this!!! Hello KItty!!!! Pantomine humour always works!!!! So the girls made this!

And the boys did this! It was very tricky as some of the parts are very small, we did lose some of spongebobs socks and bits from time to time but we found all of them so I didnt have to cut anymore out!

Once they had assembled their character I gave them a sheet of A3 card and their names cut out and I asked them to decorate their card. Here is Ben's, he lives a few doors away and whenever he comes round here he always gets the drawing stuff out as he doesnt do it much at home. I knew he would love it and he had such good ideas, look at his Gary the snail, so cute!


Here is Evan concentrating and sticking his stars on.


I have cropped this photo as I dont think its fair to put pictures of other peoples children on my blog but as you can see they are all getting stuck in.


Here is Jake's, he did really well. He is usually a little live wire but he was fab and really enjoyed it, look at his pineapple and the jelly fish!


And of course the girls loved Hello Kitty, Lucy has really gone to town on this one with her decorating!


And here is the birthday boy with his cake!


I was shattered by the end of it and felt so unwell I went to bed by 9.30.
