All in a day's work . . .

Australian Art and Craft Day at school last week, so I decided we would make a giant EMU
4 Grades worth of hands and some old tights
You just missed seeing them here, but I was wrapped with the pine cone toes we found in the carpark.  They were just the ticket for Emu toes.

  11. Oh, you all did a wonderful job on the emu! Love those legs. Too bad we missed seeing the toes :)
    I'll bet the kids had great fun with this project.
    Your spring garden is looking lovely. My mum grew Jonquils (among tons of other things) and I loved them so much. I've never grown them here. I must see if I can find some!
    Thanks for stopping by and for the welcome comment. Nice to 'meet' a fellow Aussie :)

  12. Cool Emu. I bet the big kid had as much fun making it as the little ones did. Love the flowers - just wish my garden looked that good.

  13. Annie - That is a cracking idea - I bet the kids loved making it - I would have! Although I would have been stuck there for a while trying to figure out which hand print was mine!..
    Spring is coming! Days are warmer, longer and way more conducive to outside play. Peta
