๐ŸŒฟ Flower Snails and stars ๐ŸŒฟ

Having a daughter who is so inlove with nature is great but it also means that nature often comes inside our home including the slimy crawly creeping things ๐Ÿ˜…

Last year Lily was playing in the lounge with her dollhouse and when I asked her from the kitchen what she was doing she said she was making her "snake" a bed I thought oh okay nodded my head and entertained her story (as you do as a mum) thinking it was in her imaginary play!

When I walked into the lounge I found her holding her dolls bed and seen something moving in it ๐Ÿคช

I took a look and here was a "snake" (tiny green caterpillar) in her dolls bed that she was tucking in ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜… see the pictures from last year below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ˜…

This morning we went out and their was a tiny little snail Lily had picked up and I thought she popped him in the garden as she was worried if he stayed on the footpath he would get stood on! ๐ŸŒ

So anywayyy we had that same conversation about not taking animals or bugs and things away from where they live (not sure if it sunk in ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜…)

We decided to make our own snails instead and a shooting star! ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ 

What we used

๐ŸŒฟ Craft glue
๐ŸŒฟ Cardboard
๐ŸŒฟ Dried flowers
๐ŸŒฟ leaves
๐ŸŒฟ Gumnuts

We cut our shapes out of the cardboard and used our glue to stick them altogether and that's it the baby snail can live happily ever after outside where he belongs ๐Ÿ˜… and our craft snail can now live in Lily's room ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ 

If you have children have they ever brought things they shouldn't inside ? I would love to know ๐Ÿ˜…

Also the caterpillar and the snail in these stories were not harmed at all ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
