Marbling!

Finally, the Easter Holiday is here. After sleeping in a bit to celebrate not having to get up at 7am, we basically spent the day lazing around. This was largely helped by the still disgusting weather - which hopefully will get a bit better over the next two weeks. Otherwise we are all going to go stir crazy!

Anyway, yesterday we decided to play around with some marbling inks I had knocking about - I had thought they might work nicely on eggshells, but that wasn't very successful - the ink didn't stick as well. However, paper and card did work well, and Olivia and Alex (Sarah being out with a friend) made lots of bits of lovely marbled paper to use in later craft activities...

Those marbeled papers are beautiful! What clever things you and the kids do.

I also hope your weather improves. A two-week holiday with bad weather and kids inside all the time would be a nightmare!
