Hi sarah no its a stopper :j He is too cute he is here if you ever need any 'extras' Its supposed to be for children but hey ~ you get the bank a paint brush and 6 paints ~ green, blue, purple, pink, yellow and orange. He is going to be used for all my spare weekly budget money untill the meet so just over 4 months :j mums already added 5p to him :rotfl:

Spud, hes not handmade but he is hand painted. I would like to varnish him though but unsure where to get the stuff but i may look for it. I made a handmade ballon thing only he looks nothing like an animal so he is stuffed in my cupboard :rotfl:

You could use a spray varnish, maybe Hobby Craft or B &Q would have something you could use.

We didnt have any balloons when we were making our boxes, so I used a large cheddars tub and padded it out in places with strips of cut up jiffy bag :rotfl:

It will serve it's purpose very well, and we loved making them. I might have another go sometime with the kids at school

Yeah.... Thats his first attempt at feeding himself..... the pasta went everywhere including in the washing basket and all over the dog!! He did manage to get some in his mouth, but most of that was done with his hands! He had fun tho, and the floor is (luckily) easy to clean

Sarah, he's gorgeous.

I've got pictures of my DS feeding himself just like that, in such a mess. Mind you, he doesnt feed himself much better now, still as messy and he's nearly 10 :rotfl:

Fabby pig - love how you've painted him! Sarah - brilliant pic - I too have one of sophia with food everywhere - but at least she had a go, William freaks if a tiny bit of food gets on him or the table (seriously that bad!!).

PaP - I've finally started my CJ Realised that I have shared intimate hair secrets so shouldn't care what you all think if my CJ isn't perfect lol!!
