A Room fit for a Spring

Just six weeks to go until our little one is expected to arrive and we are so excited! We finally managed to get most of the room sorted and are so pleased with how it turned out. There are plenty of hand made projects and objects from special people. What a joy it is to prepare a room for a new person :) 

Baby in the belly, adding a brushed felt Weaver's nest

Fun and easy diy Alphabet Art

Joe's water colour paintings of the birds we see from our window.

A Kenyan monkey and some good advice.

A cloudy sky from Glasgow :)

A hand made blanket, a Taiwanese Rhino and a family heirloom.

And some gentle light for when the sun goes down.

Glitter scissors and the justice system.

These are the scissors I have in my classroom, as you can see, they are fairly cheerful.

 

 

But these two, are the most coveted of them all. Daily friendships have broken over who gets to use one of these two, and it's not even just the girls. The boys also want to get in on some of that glitter orange scissor action.

 

At times it makes me despair a little, especially when I am trying to fascilitate an activity but instead find myself mostly dealing with (what feels like) unsatisfied little customers who are suddenly passionate about the concept of justice and who gets what. But in quieter moments I've come to realise that it is perhaps a good thing, and what they are really saying to me is that they care about aesthetics. That the look and feel of something can contribute to their level of happiness and directly affect their engagement. So I think I need to track down some more glitter scissors.
