I love the summer and I also love my nephew, so the two combined make for fantastic time. During the summer we have done themed days and activities to reward good behaviour. On Wednesday it was Dinosaur Day! Rawr!
- A paint your own t-rex money box (theworks.co.uk for £4.99)
- A paint your own pterodactyl suncatcher (theworks.co.uk £1.50)
- Colour and create your own dinosaur (theworks.co.uk £1.99)
- Homemade Dinosaur eggs (Growing A Jeweled Rose)
The paint your own activities and the colour and create activity were pretty straight forward but he loved them, sorry I don't have a picture of the finished product!
Our eggs didn't quite work as well as i hoped, the mixture was too wet but he thoroughly enjoyed getting his way into the eggs. I added yellow food colouring and a bit of strawberry flavouring to take away the smell of vinegar in the solution, this worked quite well.
We had a lovely dinosaur themed dinner consisting of noodles, dinosaur turkey shapes and broccoli. The nephew doesn't eat broccoli but he managed one piece for me. We also snacked on some juicy watermelon cut into "teeth shapes" (triangles).
And lastly thanks to the wonderful netflix we chilled out and watched Land Before Time.
Hope you are all having a good summer, even though this weather cannot seem to make it's mind up!
