Winter Christmas Party Playgroup

Our winter Christmas party was lots of fun. Many thanks to Evelynne who warmed us at her open fire and decorated her lounge room with fairy lights and a Christmas tree. She let the babies chew on her Fisher Price nativity scene, and tolerated all the crumbs on her carpet with true grace. You are a champion Ev!

We watched a children’s video adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ book “The Snowman” and then we ate yummy food: Kristy made the most amazing stripy jelly we’ve ever seen and Lindy’s star-on-a-stick biscuits were a huge hit with the toddlers, who asked for more when they ran out.
It was a bit cold and windy outside, so the artificial snow activity was brief (we used finely ground water saving crystals) but the plum pudding and custard went well with the weather. To compliment the season the kids made little snowmen out of polystyrene balls, twigs, felt and toothpicks. We used odd baby socks for beanies!


Thankyou so much to all of you who support the playgroup activities, I wonder what we’ll do next…
