How to Make an Acorn Man.

It is a necessity to take 'magic eyes' on a camping trip. We call these 'magic eyes' as just about anything can be turned into an enchanting creature with these sweet little things.
Sticks were a favourite on our recent camping adventure. K and her friend turned some ordinary looking sticks into an army of stick-men...
Here are 'Mr Grumpy' and 'Mr Oh-My-Gosh'.
Here's 'Mr Happy'.
Posted by PicasaHere's Miss Smiley and her acorn friend.

Here's Mr T and his stick friend.
Here's 'Mrs Pine Needle'.
And here is the entire army!
Posted by PicasaAmazing that a little packet of sticky-eyes can create such an assortment of creatures. Don't forget to take some with you on your next camping adventure.

Blessings and magic

Love the self stick eyes. Perfect for a camping trip. I'll remember that one!

We just put eyes on painted rocks (21 month old) today! Very fun!

So Fabulous!!! lol : )
My son once stuck 'magic eyes' on a cheese cracker it was amazing just how funny it looked as it was brought to life in this way! Can I come camping with you??

I am always most grateful for ideas to fill our days. I am gathering them all up to add in my activity jar. I have quite a few from all these wonderful mamas who have shared the Fridays nature table. Thank you

Have a wonderful week end

Warm regards

Mom of two sunbursts of joy; K, my precious kitten, 7. I love her curly brown hair, the freedom of her imagination and her deep, sweet innocence. T is 4. He is my blond, blue-eyed bear. He makes me laugh. Wife to A Good Man. He is my love, my very best friend and the one who keeps me grounded (I tend to go off with the fairies now and then). I am consciously trying to be mindful of each and every moment; embrace life with love, laughter and learning and give freely knowing that what I have is considerable. Also, trying show my kids the beauty of nature in our concrete jungle; enter Waldorf, my newfound passion!
