Children’s game Bubble Head Balloons

Sharon J. Bainbridge — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 09:15:30 +0000

Little Snowflake comes up with the most amazing little character ideas. There she was sitting in the kitchen blowing up balloons. I was just washing up and then suddenly she said “Mummy what do you think of this?” There before my eyes I saw two balloons stuck to each other. One little and one big! It looked like a balloon bomb.

She then got hold of the black marker pen and started to draw a face on him. Before I knew it the kitchen was full of Bubble head balloon characters. Well I have to say I think they are totally unique.

Next she takes me into the front room and takes one of the balloons off. I watch in amazement as it whizzes around the room and smile. There is my little girl laughing and jumping with joy. Now I thought to myself that is a happy child with a real childhood!

Would you like to buy one of her Bubble Head Balloons. The faces she creates are just out of this world. Contact me via this page, if you want.

MAKE YOUR OWN CALENDAR FOR JUST £1 and EASILY MADE SCRAPBOOKS

Sharon J. Bainbridge — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:38:42 +0000

Since I stopped working as a PA in London I seem to have problems knowing what day it is. This year I decided to make a change and to be more organised. Also my family and friends will find it quite amazing that I have stopped being late for everything, so that is worth a giggle in itself.

MAKE YOUR OWN CALENDAR FOR JUST £1

I picked up a calendar for just £1 in the Pound Shop. Bargain. And after using my scrapbook images, it looks very nice indeed. You can get these images from the Scrapbook site which is advertised on my video. If you want my templates I could ask for their permission as it is of course my own layout.

SCRAPBOOK POSTCARD YOUR FAMILY HISTORY

Anyway I have used these images too on my desktop to remind me every month whose birthday it is.

We showed you a few Trash Pack activities and now here you have the ‘Trash Pack Explosion pop goes the trash can’ for hours of entertainment at home.

TRASH PACK GAME RULES – OLYMPICS 2012

1. If you get the Trashie character in the Trash Pack bin you get 20 points

2. If Trashie knocks over the bins you get 10 points

3. If you are using your sisters dolls house and land on furniture that is 30 points

4. If you land in the kitchen – points get taken away as that is where the Fresh Packs live. And they come out of the Fridge one at a time. If you knock them over you get 10 points taken away. Ok so I am moving ahead of myself. But I have been busy making Little Snowflakes Fresh Pack characters so watch this space. Come on Little Snowflake, you rock!

Trash Pack Explosion new game

This new video is much clearer so hope they like this one too. And we have much more to come.

With a little bit of luck they will allow me to buy the big Trash Packs direct so I can promote with local schools and run fun drawing competitions. Mum’s know there is nothing like teamwork. And I am a good team player so fingers crossed. Who knows this could help Mum’s work from home as we could all work together in different schools. What do you think?

P.S. This little boy in the video is my daughters friend and he is in the Olympic games advert with two other boys running. I also know the other little boy he always makes me laugh. Clever little thing he wished me Happy New Year in English and my boss the cook a Happy New Year in Welsh. I wonder what he will think of Little Snowflakes Trash Pack game?

How to make a puffle toy with feathers

Sharon J. Bainbridge — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:03:47 +0000

Whether it’s half term or after school downtime mums always need to keep kids entertained. I don’t know about you, but I loved making things when I was a kid. And my little girl is just the same. Arts and crafts are so good for children it helps them relax and enjoy childhood the way they should. Very important if your child like mine struggles at school and gets a little stressed out at times.

She hates reading out in front of the class and I really wish they would stop this as it does not build a child’s confidence when most kids can read perfectly. All kids are different and my little girl is an artist so I do all I can to make her feel special by promoting her work on line. How is your child coping with school? Drop us a comment.

Time to relax sweetie and make something fun!

Happy crafting everyone. And if you enjoy any of my blogs please leave me a comment and I will respond soon.
