Its a bugs life

Yesterday was Joshua's final ever day at nursery. A bit of an emotional day for the big man as he took in a card and some choccies for his key worker. At the end of the day it was hugs for all the staff and friends as he said farewell. 2 weeks off now and then he starts at primary school.
 
Today we took the boys over to Auntie Lisa's "build a bug" art activity session over at Wat Tyler park. With a bit of assistance both boys made a bug to go on the bug tree and also a bug which they brought home and have proudly put on display in their bedrooms.

Brandon gluing the spots on his lady bird.

Both boys hard at work letting their imagination run wild as they design, cut and stick.
 
Joshua sets about drawing a picture of a bug next.

Lisa's bug tree, can you see Joshua and Brandon's creations?

Thanks to Lisa and her assistants for allowing the boys to come along and join in the craft session. I think there were a few comments regarding who was having the most fun out of the boys or me. Probably the best thing is that we got to do loads of cutting, sticking and generally making a mess and for once I didn't have to clear it all up. Art and craft sessions outside of your house are a good idea!
