October Holiday Classes 2013

IMG_3179-copy
School Holidays are creeping up again!

We have a couple of wonderful classes planned for the kids these holidays.

On Monday’s we will be holding classes for a local group as we did last school holidays (looking forward to seeing you all again!) The items we will be making and price just needs to be confirmed with the co-ordinator, then I will share it with you.

N.B: Age Guidelines. I have put an approximate age for each class. But that is ONLY a guide as each child is different and all are at different levels. Only YOU know your child well enough to know if they can cope with the class. All projects are in store for viewing and I will leave it up to you to decide :). I’m also happy for you to stay – if not to help them you can sit at the spare table and have a coffee.

Maya Road Bag Tag

On Tuesday after school the kids made some bag tags for their school bags.

Everyone in the whole school has the same green bag – so having some fancy tags hanging off it make them easier to identify!

The kids loved painting them and when they where dry we heat embossed them with clear UTEE to protect them. And the good news is we still have a handful of these sets of chipboard to give away for free! Just spend $20 or more in store. (Limit of 1 per customer)
