Using old CD's! You know how I like to utilize those old CD's! I'm going to make them with my Rainbows on Monday, I'll let you know how it goes!

God, there's nothing like welcoming an old friend into the fold, is there?

I don't have old cds. Not sure if I like it. Thanks though.

Maureen, the first thing that I saw on your link was a woman holding her belly and wobbling it!

Then scrolled down a little and saw the puppet. I will pass on your idea to our local rainbow/Brownie leader who is a good friend of mine.

Thanks

I'm in the process of registering as a childminder and I'm saving up ideas so will add this one! Thanks Maureen! Was going to read and run but had to post so you don't feel all alone!

mymatemarmite · 28/05/2009 22:09

Obviously that was an advert! Not the puppet!

KatyMac · 28/05/2009 22:12

Sorry Maureen

Busy day

I'm trying to forget I'm a childminder tonight

MaureenMLove · 28/05/2009 22:13

Thankyou ladies. In the old days, when I was a CM, we used to post things like this all the time. Obviously times have changed!

Not sure why you bothered though Plimple. You didn't have to post!

Oh dear Katy, you alright?

Fine just piles & piles of EYFS stuff

Plus I'm interviewing

Plus DH is poorly

Actually nothing changes does it?

Ahh, lovely idea - dd would love that (not a cm though - hope I'm allowed to pinch it anyway )

MaureenMLove · 28/05/2009 22:21

Pinch away Funny. It's a great website with loads of ideas.

Has DH stopped snapping at the pair of you yet? I'm sure you understand he's unhappy about his condition, but equally, he has to understand you two are going through the mill too.

It seems to go in waves....I think we are on an up atm

plimple · 28/05/2009 22:48

Didn't mean to be horrid, it's just that nobody had replied so I thought I should say something. I did say thank you! I like getting ideas for craft stuff, just 'cos I don't like this one, please keep them coming!

leonifay · 29/05/2009 07:54

Numberfour · 29/05/2009 08:09

I really appreciate it when people post ideas, MaureenMLove! Don't let the initial response here stop you!!

Very cute idea that my 4 year old mindee would love!

atworknotworking · 29/05/2009 08:16

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 29/05/2009 08:52

Thanks - great idea, could turn it into lots of different thing, lions would be good for one :D

I think that's the first craft idea I've seen posted on here since about September, come on CMs share your finds!
