Must show you what my grandson came up with....
Having announced that he wanted to play with the dolls house frontage-ish, that he uses when he wants to recreate the story, We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
"make me some itty bitty birds Nannie.....lots of itty bitty birds please?"
( his thumbs and fore fingers were held up closely together to stress how small .................. itty bitty really is...)
So I drew 1" ish sized bird shapes.............had to put eyes and a beak shape on each one for him too lol
What will you do with them Jack?
"I need lots of flying birds ................. lots Nannie and I want the tape"
Off he goes and comes back with the roll of selotape from the kitchen drawer ............. whilst I cut birds ..
And this is what he did with them, asking only that I cut itty bits of tape for him!
I would never have thought of putting them there!
He's priceless lol
Next he uses his felt tip and marks the wall................
"whats that Nannie?" - I dont know Jack, what is it?
"bird poo!" ............... he chuckles away and I did too !
He'd had me cut little yellow bits from some self adhesive paper and he stuck them one by one in front of the front door.
"whats that Nannie?" - I don't know Jack, what are they?
"It's bread for the birds to eat" .................of course it is, says I !!!
We're Going on a Bear Hunt ............... now has flying birds in the story!
kids are such a treasure. they always know how to have fun.

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post! You certainly have a creative and imaginative charmer in Jack!
ReplyDeleteclever little lad....I can imagine his cheeky grin...and almost hear him announce...."bird poo"! lol what imagination....
ReplyDeleteNow that's a happy post, it put smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - another story from my own children's library. (I'm going on a bear hunt, I' going to find a bit one! Oh oh - tall grass! I can't go round it.. I'll have to go through it! Swishy swashy swishy swashy...)
ReplyDeleteSeems to be a bit topical just now! But I was focusing on the Ahlbergs. http://livingtowork-workingtolive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/horizons-diversion.html
And when my son was small he only spoke with half the word (it sometimes took a bit of interpretation) so it was always 'Birpoo' in our family!
Aren't children's books great!
