Heart-shaped Christmas Help

Kaye1

It doesn't always have to be cynical and about what 'they can get.' My LO asked FC for a ball of wool and a book. I didn't discuss this with her, it is genuinely all she wanted. There are children in her class asking for ipads/electronic games etc- and getting them, so I was super proud that was all she wanted.


Christmas is what you make it- if you allow it to become a cynical buying exercise, it will.

She does have a stethoscope already (a toy one - it beeps when pressed against anything) but that hasn't convinced her she has a heart.

That's because she's clever enough to know that it's not a real one.:)

We had one like this -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/St-John-Ambulance-Stethoscope-Black/dp/B004N5WFWY/ref=pd_cp_ce_1 -
and the kids could listen to their hearts when they were resting and after running around and hear the difference so they knew they were hearing something real.

These heart-shaped decorations are really easy and look really effective http://strumpetscrumpets.blogspot.be/2012/01/valentine-paper-heart-chain-diy.html

You can do them in long garlands or make shorter panels to hang in front of a window etc

If you pm me your address and your daughters name, I will post you out a little wooden sparkly heart with her name on it.
I am making some tonight for a craft fair tomorrow so it wont be any trouble.

Loved the stethoscope idea. You can get them really cheaply on eBay:

I can't imagine they're particularly good (and bet they're not used in hospitals), but for a few quid you could get it and try it out yourself beforehand, and give it to her if it works.

And this book to go with it?

Fab n Funky mum - that is very thoughtful of you - I have pm'ed you.

The body book looks good - she is very interested in her inner workings at the moment.

I did try "not on the high street" for ideas - but they were all a bit adult oriented. Some kiddy heart shaped choccies are the next thing to find.

Heart shaped mallows and jelly beans are easily available.
