If you peered through...

...the arched window of Playschool, you would see me helping Emma construct a giant butterfly as part of her summer school project. I did the sharp bit of cutting the wire armature and then she piled in with the mass of papiér maché. We're at the under-painting stage just now. I expect this to run for several days!

Have you ever thought how surprisingly difficult it is to make papiér maché if you no longer buy a newspaper and they don't deliver free papers any more? Believe me, it's not easy:)
