Bows and butterflies

Big bee wanted to play Minnie Mouse bowtiques this morning and make bows. We've talked about doing it for a while and ordered some ribbon and clips together so we got going on it.

We were both thrilled with the results, Rapunzel ones are the next project!
Next we browsed my Pinterest folder and big bee picked out something she'd like to do. Food colouring and water and then pipette it onto kitchen roll squares. Once covered with colours we put out in the sun to dry and then had a plan to make them into butterfly's.
Shortly after we started, Little bee fell asleep and our friends arrived to exchange birthday cards. They stopped for a little play and big bee and O played with the colours. They made lots of coloured sheets then they wanted to start pouring colours so we moved them outside onto the tough spot.
At some point sand or 'sugar' as they called it was added to the mix and they were 'baking cakes' . Lots of fun was had, a bit of bouncing on the trampoline too! 
Here are the completed butterflies!
A bit later on, little bee doing a bit of 'DIY', complete with mixing bowl for a hat.
After tea we went out to do the watering. There were two white butterflies in the poly tunnel which we rescued. One sat on big bees hand for ages, I think it had got over hot in there. Hopefully it'll be ok.
We looked it up on the butterfly cards and think its a 'small white'.
Little bee caught himself a cucumber! Haha!
Apparently the best cucumber they'd ever ever eaten! Good good!
