| May 2008 Newsletter
So we’re heading up for the summer and whilst it’s tempting for us to rest in the sunshine we’re still as busy at Artful Splodgers building up the sessions, looking out for new ideas and equipment and making sure that you and your little ones get the very best from their Splodging sessions. Keep your eyes peeled for the new equipment and a few other changes in the next few months as toys on our wish list become reality!

Friday 25th July
Wednesday 30th July
Friday 1st August
Friday 29th August
Wednesday 3rd September
Friday 5th September
Sessions are for planned for children aged between 18 months and 11 years. Prices for these sessions only are £3 for the first child and any additional children are £1.50 each. Places will be on a first come first served basis.
Sessions will run for an hour at the usual times,
from 9:45am and 11am.
Each session will have a medley of the activities the children have enjoyed recently and a few new ones. We would respectfully ask that any older children are mindful of the smaller children present and a parent is still required to stay for the session.

| Cornflour Dough
Mix 125g of cornflour and 120ml of cold water in a bowl, mix and set aside. In a saucepan, add 250g salt and 240ml of hot water and bring to the boil. Add the cornflour and water mix and turn down to a low heat stirring constantly until the mixture is dry and thick. Remove from heat and let it cool. Great for hammering with although it is stickier than usual play dough.
