We had 20 minutes spare this morning before school, so we made a couple of Valentine's penguins.
Penguins are just the perfect creature for Valentines, it's cold, it's winter, they're cute and in our house they are purple.

Snowballs
What do you get when you cross a pom pom and a paper snowflake?
Answer: A simple Christmas decoration.
Using large sheets of white tissue paper, I followed the Martha Stewart instructions for making pom poms but before moving onto Step 3 (separating the layers) I cut into each end of the strip, just like making a paper snowflake.
Top tip: don't cut too far towards the middle as the paper just rips when separating the petals out.
I use shirring elastic to hang them up as it gives them a lovely bounce when they are caught by a breeze.
So our first Christmas decoration is up and our house is full of large and medium sized snowballs all bobbing along. What can I make next?
