<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">(not sure why it is called that!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>An Easy Game of Dice - </span><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Best with 2, </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">but can be played with up to four players.</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>You will need</b>... 2 Dice, Paper and pen for scoring.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>Goal</b>... Be the first player to reach 100 points.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>How to Play...</b> Each player in turn throws the two dice together. He has three throws. He adds his points together as he goes.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">If a 1 is rolled, that player's turn ends and no points are earned. If after one or two throws he decides to "hold" (rather than risk a 1 on his next throw and losing all his points) he keeps his score and passes the dice onto the next player.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>Scoring Examples...</b></span><br />
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>Example 1:</b> Peter rolls a 3 and a 4 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 6 and a 1. Because he rolled a 1, Peter's turn ends and he earns 0 points.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br />
<b>Example 2:</b> Jack rolls a 6 and a 2 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 6 and a 5 and decides to "hold". Jack scores 19 points.</span><br />
</span><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<b>Example 3:</b> Mike rolls a 2 and a 3 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 4 and a 2 and carries on to his third throw of a 4 and a 3. He scores 18 points.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><b>NOTE:</b> If a double is thrown then the player doubles that amount. Eg a double 4 will be 8 x 2 = 16 points, a double 6 will be 12 x 2 = 24 points. </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">If a double 1 is thrown then the player gets 25 points for that throw. Only a single 1 will end the players turn.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">

<span>Junk-Mail (or magazine / comic / newspaper)</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />

<span>Double sided sticky pads or glue dots (to attach the buttons and bow)</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />

<span>I have made two collages - the one on the black card (Collage A) - I painted the stems with white acrylic paint - like this...</span><br />

<br />
<span><strong>How to Do It...</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Cut out you flowers as detailed above.</span><br />
<br />
<span>Paint the stems if desired (Collage A)</span><br />
<br />
<span>Place your flowers on the card and when you are happy with your layout, stick them on.</span><br />
<br />
<span>Then place a button in the centre of each flower and attach them on using a double sided pad or a glue dot.</span><br />
<br />
<span>If you haven't painted your stems you can use thread, (Collage B) and if you like add a bow!</span><br />
<br />
<span>I am sure you will come up with many variations of this collage - just use your imagination and create your own design!</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Enjoy being creative...! <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span face="Verdana,sans-serif">Attach your looped ribbon to the top of the other large felt heart.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana,sans-serif"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These Paper Plate Dream Catchers are great fun to make and easy for any age and ability...</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You will need... </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A good quality paper plate - needs to be rigid enough to keep its shape</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A length of Yarn - we Used Cotton Yarn DK - 2.5m plus 2 or 3 pieces for the dangles - each about 40cms long - Also about 30cms to make a tag to hang it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beads with large holes - we used Pony Beads</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Feathers - dyed ones available at craft shops</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Colouring-in pens or paints</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Punch to make holes </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sticky Tape </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How to make... </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cut out the centre of the plate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Punch holes around the inside hole as per photo - about 2.5cm apart - no need to measure - don't have to accurate!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Working on the "bottom" surface of the plate - colour or paint the decoration - our plates had ridges which added to the effect!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Take your long piece of yarn and secure one end with sticky tape to the inside of the plate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thread the yarn through the holes - back and forth - no fixed pattern - just as you like! When about two thirds through, thread some beads onto the yarn (see photo above) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When all the holes are used up, secure the end again with sticky tape, on the inside of the plate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Punch a hole centre top and make a loop to hang up your Dream Catcher.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Punch two or three holes along bottom edge for dangles...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tie a bead about a third of the way down on your yarn - then thread beads onto the longer piece above the tied bead.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thread the end of this yarn, above the beads, through the punched hole and secure with sticky tape inside the plate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Repeat with other one or two dangles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tie feathers onto the ends of yarn below the beads.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sweet Dreams! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This is a very exciting way to paint wild flowers, as you never know what you will end up with!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">As you are painting watercolours "Wet on Wet" (wet paint on wet paper) it does its own thing - great fun and easy to do, so very suitable for your groups. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And you get great results, even for the "un-artistic"!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong>You will need...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Watercolour paper (as you are wetting the paper, you will need watercolour paper - anything else won't work!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Watercolour paints</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Brushes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Black pen - waterproof ink. (I used Staedtler Pigment Liner 0.8, but any similar will do)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong>Get ready...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Mix your paints before you wet your paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">I mixed green (2 separate shades - one darker)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Flower colours - I mixed Yellow (2 shades) and Crimson</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wet your paper by brushing over with clean water.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wait a few minutes and then using a large brush, wash on the lighter green with upward strokes and feather the top edge. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While still wet, apply the dark green - let some of the light green show through.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Next - check if your paper is still wet - if not then re-wet the top of your picture. (careful not to go into the green area)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Then apply the colours you have prepared - just load the brush with paint and then touch the paper and the paint will spread by itself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Put different size blobs of the different colours - in random order (these are wild flowers - not planted in rows!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Lastly, take your brush and flick (hold the brush parallel to the paper and tap it sharply, with your finger, just below the bristles) small blobs of paint randomly over the whole picture. </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do this with all your different flower colours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Let it dry thoroughly (I use my hair dryer on low heat to speed up the drying process)</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Once the paint is dry, take your pen and draw in your flowers. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Try to draw freely - don't be too precise - the paint is not precise, so the drawing too must be "Random"! </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">To make it look natural, have some flowers "side view".</span></div>
