Laura's adventure with Flannel Reindeers

Thats ok Mary Obviously it can only be used with the bar of soap reindeers. I make one with a small box of chocs and use a different verse for that.

Thanks Laura - I spent ages looking for one and then thought you know wot it'd be easier to make it up myself.

Yes, thanks daisy...i'm really not good with the rhyming ditties! Think the idea of chocs makes a change, been thinking what to put in my sis' reindeer; she has really bad eczema so soap's a no-no as are other bathy things and she has to be careful with dairy and other food stuffs so still trying to come up with somethin but either way she'll love the reindeer!! Forgot I said I'd add pics of things bought in Hooty's (just in case anyone interested!):

Doh!! I must learn to read instructions properly. I did a dummy run with an old face cloth just to see if I could make the reindeers before buying all the bits and pieces, and I used two bars of soap for one reindeer. I was wondering how you managed to get their ears so long, thought maybe I needed to buy jumbo size facecloths or teacloths as DS suggested:eek:

~Please can anyone tell me what size bells to buy? Do they thread easily onto the pipecleaners or do you glue them on? Thanks!

Does anyone know the best (cheapest!) place to get bags of all red pom poms? I have run out mid way through reindeer making and don't want to spend too much more money on this project.

TIA
