Family Fun!

This week saw the last Crafty Crocs of 2013.

Our theme was trees and wood. We looked in Wakefield Museum to find objects created out of wood.

Back in the Learning Zone our Crafty Crocs created some tree window decorations with tissue paper lights, a reindeer hat and to top our tree, our very own drinking straw star woven with wool.

Reindeer hat!

Christmas star!
