And books such as Peter and Jane, though I don't think they were Ladybird, or I am not sure!

I too have made loads of snowmen jars - filled with sweets or even the dreaded homemade bath salts (do you recall those.... ugh! washing soda and food colouring and maybe a drop of auntie thingies perfume!).<br /><br />Enjoy your books.Catrionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-63471602170684470162012-09-26T21:01:03.005+01:002012-09-26T21:01:03.005+01:00I have about 20 Ladybird books I think - mostly fr...I have about 20 Ladybird books I think - mostly from my childhood, a few from the 1980s when my daughters were small.

Fill the bottle with water & put the sachet in, then put the lid on.

Well, that was quite a co-incidence!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the cookery leaflets as well xxMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-15953285424606458672012-09-26T18:30:28.772+01:002012-09-26T18:30:28.772+01:00Wow, Angela...this takes me back! I remember Blue ...Wow, Angela...this takes me back! I remember Blue Peter making a lovely snowman one Christmas, using a coffee jar, a ball and loads of cotton wool roll. I expect loads of other people remember it too -- and a couple of years ago I resurrected the idea with my 3 daughters on one of those miserable overcast days at the start of the Christmas holidays. They loved making them, taking great care cutting out the little bits and pieces for eyes, walking stick, hat & scarf etc. to stick on, then they got really excited as they filled up the jar with lots of sweeties before replacing the head! Come to think of it, it's been a while, so maybe we'll do this again this year! Now how's that for a really easy and economical thing to make...and fun! I also find that making things that close to Christmas helps me really get in the festive mood.
