ANIMATION WORKSHOP

Liam was kindly taken to a Big Red Studio animation workshop this half term

at The Mitchell Arts Centre, Stoke-on-Trent.

They main plasticine sea creatures,
then moved and reposed their creatures on a backdrop
taking a photo after each move

and this was the result of Liam's, Ben's and Donna's hard work...

I am proud to introduce today feature film...

"A Turtle's Tale 2"

Liam's is the blood thirsty Hammerhead shark,

whilst Ben and Donna chose the more gentle turtle's and sea snake!

(Pst I so wish I had tagged along, it is so my thing!!!)

a 'BIG' Thank You to Ben and Donna for taking Liam with you

(and Tim for finding the activity)

I have (me being me) looked around the web

and there is some free animation software available is you wish to have ago yourself.

I will post link soon

STORY SACK - DR SUESS / ONE FISH TWO FISH

If you don't know what a story sack is,
 it is a basically book in a bag with lots of book related fun for children enclosed.

They make them within schools, on parent days in the UK.
Parents go into school and WITH their child they make one for their class.
(but the parents get extremley competitive about them LOL)

but it's also a great way to spend a rainy day, making the fun items to go inside,
then you have it forever to share when reading your child's favourite book.
They make adrable gifts too.

Here goes...

HOW MUCH TIME HAVE WE LEFT WITH OUR KIDS?

Now this post breaks my heart...but it will sure put things into perspective!

The answer to that question is that we hope we have a lifetime left with our children.

But, if you want to get an idea of the time you have left with your children living at home,

try this:

VALENTINE'S DAY - BURST MY BUBBLE

I just had to show you this,

because for the last two years I have been making

"Don't burst my bubble"

but this one is "go ahead burst my bubble"

it comes with a little toothpick painted red, to pop the balloon...
