Girls Brigade Fete-item-makers... (no help required)....

Tiger-girl's 'Girls Brigade' group are running a stall at the Church's Christmas Fete.  It's a 'Red & Green' stall.   The chids decided to make some red and green items for the stall (no help required from me except for "Where's the..."   "Can I have some...." and.... "Is it OK if...."  kinda questions.)  Chef has a 'signature'  item that he makes for this sort of occasion, namely an origami box filled with sweets.  I gave him some scrapbook paper to make the boxes but he decided the finished box was too big and chose to ink stamp some Christmassy motifs onto red/green paper instead...

Smurf and T-G chose to make bracelets and necklaces from beads. [Note how they were all in Tiger-girl's room, sitting on the floor, not using the schoolroom or kitchen table... it was a stricktly no adult help needed thing that was going on. It was all I could do to get a few pics!]
 
 

 
  
 

 So glad they're independent (but feel like time's slipping away... sniff...)
