This. Is. Fabulous! I can’t wait to make this with my fan-obsessed-six-year-old. 😉 Goodbye, smelly monster smells! #thescaredpitch
Perfect! Fan away, little L! 🙂
Isn’t it great?! And I love the styling photo too 🙂
Such a cute craft activity! …. Running late gives me butterflies in the tummy! #thescaredpitch
Another awesome craft item. Walking in the dark gives me the jitters. #thescaredpitch
Thanks, Kaye! Me too!
Such a great activity, and can be used to fan away all your troubles, not just the ‘smelly’ troubles.
The thing that gives me goosebumps is the split second when you can’t see your child in a crowded place. #thescaredpitch
Goosebumps or brick in the tummy for that one?! Thanks Jen.
Love your craft activities Deb, such great ideas. Schools all around the country will no doubt be clamouring to have you come and do school visits ASAP!
Thanks Kellie, although all credit for these has to go to Romi Sharp – she’s amazing!
Aw shucks! Just having a bit of fun! 🙂
