An awful lot of junk ( modelling )

October 30, 2013 by admin 7 Comments

You know the old joke about sending boxes into school to get rid of some recycling and then the kids coming home with someone else’s junk with a bit of sellotape and glitter added? I never really got it before this term. Z wasn’t really a junk modeller.

However, little S adores the craft corner and seemingly spends most of the day there. This is just 2 days worth of the lovely junk models she has brought home for me. All are presents for me or dolly and so have to be kept safe and well away from the recycle bin after Daddy ‘accidentally’ threw some away.

I do love watching her come out of school with a big smily face giving me a ‘present’, but I am trying REALLY to declutter and it’s not helping!

Ralph the dog from Scotch has been rather useful for patching everything up at home, and is super easy for the kids to use which means I don’t have to cut loads of tape and stick to a table edge for them.

Ralph the dog

Ralph  comes with a 19mm x 8.89m roll of Scotch® Magic tape, and can be refilled. It is available from www.3mdirect.co.uk. RRP £8.99.

We were sent a Ralph the dog.

    Love Ralph the Dog, he is very sweet! I actually took a whole pile of boxes, bubble wrap and lots of other junk (including my old PC keyboard!) to school this morning. I fully expect most of it to return! 😀

    I love Scotch tape. It’s so handy and actually sticks the best, I find x

    This is just what I need – Ozzy and Kitty have been very creative everything over half term but struggle with finding the end of tape and cutting it!

    How cute is Ralph?! I have totally been there though – still am… 🙁 I used to rejoice when I took all the boxes into school… until they were brought right back home again!!

    I’m thinking we all need a Ralph in our lives. Totally get the boxes thing though, since A started nursery over a year ago, we’ve never had so many boxes!

    There’s nothing like a bit of junk modelling. We have a Ralph too they are really good aren’t they.
