Make Beautiful Origami Christmas BaublesDo you remember making origami 'water bombs' at school - paper balls that you folded from a square, blew up and filled with water and threw at someone in the playground?? (I do!) Well, they also make lovely decorations - try using diffrent types of paper, brown paper, sheet music, pages from an old nursery rhyme book, national geographic magazine. Younger children will need help - after you've made a couple, it seems alot easier! Click on this Activity Village link for great step by step instructions. I have worked with patients in their hospital beds making these baubles, here's a selection below...... 
This is a really cheap, fun and simple project, suitable for preschoolers upwards. You'll need 4 things: coloured straws pipe cleaners scissors string Cut the straws into 'beads', thread them on to the pipe cleaners - great practice for little fingers. Twirl the pipe cleaner into a spiral and tie a length of string or ribbon on - ta-da.....hang them on your ears!
“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple...” Today at Wood School........What a great time of the year to be outside, exploring and collecting from the forest floor! Acorns, sycamore 'helicopters', berries, beechnuts, conkers, leaves turning beautiful shades of red and orange....... 
All you need for this project..... 1. some large sheets of cardboard - write the letters on with a marker pen 2. add PVA glue to the letters 3. Find a group of enthusiastic children and invite them to forage for mosaic materials and stick them down! The children at Wood School wanted to do the first letter of their names, resulting in some healthy negotiation of claiming the more popular letters! 4. For making the name signs below, we used smaller pieces of cardboard, and punched two holes at the top for the string.
