Mumsnet Talk

My DS broke up from school last Friday and brought home some homework. He has to fill a takeaway style tub with non perishable objects beginning with "O". I have had a total mind blank all week. He is back on Monday and this blardy box needs filling. HELP, I need some mumsnet inspiration

Fill it with lots of 'objects' .
Or some tights ('ose).

Sorry.

Get a dictionary, start at O, scan through.

I considered the "objects" idea too my DH said it wouldn't do <you bloody well do the homework then, stop moaning, grumble grumble under breath>

Orange (from a play kitchen)
Orange sticks

Orange crayon.
Oblong piece of card.
Odd sock
Odeon cinema ticket.
Ostrich photo

Olbas oil.

Octopus, old socks, one eyed pirate !

Erm...shouldn't it be the child who scours the house for 'o' objects?

Thanks guys

What I am finding is there are very few objects that actually start with O. You have to add a word e.g odd sock, open door etc! Stupid homework, why couldn't we have got S or T or something?!?

Orchid
Olly Murs
O Come All Ye Faithful lyrics

Ointment
Olive
Onion

Any good?

Amistillsexy, I agree, but he is 3 and can only come up with Octonauts!!

oh and Oats

Good suggestions, but have to be non-perishable

Oh yes

darnit!

Change his name to Oliver and let him wear it?

<helpful>

octagon
oil
leaflet for 'opticians'?

toy owl, otter or orang utan?

Could you get away with pictures of things? That would give you a lot more scope, eg oak tree, octopus, plus all the perishables already suggested.

Homework... for a three year old...

Ornaments

He is 3 and has homework?

oak leaves
orbs ( anything ball-shaped)
opener (as in bottle or can)

simple paper 'origami' shape?

Or get him to draw various O things and put the pictures in?
