Messy play at Wardington Waddlers

The little ones enjoyed some painting this week and thankfully for us, it wasn't as messy as it could have been! Snack time was boosted by some delicious ginger christmas biscuits, baked by 3 year old Theo (with a little help from mummy - although Hannah informs me the kitchen suffered a little!). We were joined this week by Jane from Dotty Hen who had some beautiful gifts for the ladies...it helped to get the Christmas shopping started! Don't worry, if you missed out, you can order via their website: http://www.dottyhen.com/ We hope to have some Christmas activities over the next two weeks to get us all in the spirit. Our last session before Christmas will be on the 19th
