Easter Ladder - Work in Progress

After lots of cutting, sticking and painting (the lolly sticks!) we are ready to assemble the Easter Ladder! 

Tomorrow (Friday) it will be put together and displayed at our Day Centre...

Have no idea what it will look like, but we will soon find out!

Starting the Easter Ladder!

This week at the Day Centre we are going to make

an Easter Ladder...   

To make the ladder I nicked one of my husband's runner bean canes and he cut it in half for me - each piece is about 1m long. Using a hot glue gun we stuck on the rungs, using large-size, flat, wooden spatulas or lolly sticks as they are known!

So this week during our craft sessions we will be making up some Easter Eggs - cut from card or foam and decorated - which will go on the ladder. 

Also have 24 little fluffy yellow chicks to add to the ladder as well! So do pop back later in the week and see how we get on - have no definite idea of what it will look like - will just develop as we go along...!

Look at our Day Centre Greeting Cards!

        

           

We had a lovely morning making up greetings cards at our Day Centre. 

We were fortunate enough to have had donations of blank cards, envelopes and embellishments, which gave us lots of choice... 

We also cut bits off  "used" cards and with a bit of glue or a sticky pad a new card was made! 

Most of the members of our group are over 80 (and over 90) but all joined in with great enthusiasm and produced some lovely cards! 

So please enjoy sharing them with us all...
