🌠🐌🌿 Simple Saturday Craft 🌿🐌🌠
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 🤪
I took a look and here was a "snake" (tiny green caterpillar) in her dolls bed that she was tucking in 🙈😅 see the pictures from last year below 👇😅
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! 🐌
Lily went inside before me and when I got into the lounge she had popped this little baby snail into that same dolls bed and said he had "told" her he was cold and wanted to have a sleep here, she wanted to warm him up and let him rest until it stops raining outside and then she'll put him back 😅
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 💁😅)
We decided to make our own snails instead and a shooting star! 🐌🌠
What we used
🌿 Craft glue
🌿 Cardboard
🌿 Dried flowers
🌿 leaves
🌿 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 😅 and our craft snail can now live in Lily's room 🐌🌠
If you have children have they ever brought things they shouldn't inside ? I would love to know 😅
Also the caterpillar and the snail in these stories were not harmed at all 💕💕
