Blogmas Day sixteen

Its Day 16 and it is time for another update on the elves!

On Day 11 we found them sat on our lounge floor playing with Freddie's bead toy from Ikea! They looked like they had been having a good time playing over night while we were in bed!

On Day 12 well mummy woke with a start at half past four realising she had forgot to set the elves up after the fiasco with James hospital appointment. So mummy leap out of bed and came downstairs! So when the boys got up they found the elves on daddy's PC!

On Day 13 the elves had been having a party on our lounge light fitting! It took James ages to spot them! Eventually we had to give him a few clues!

On Day 14 the pesky pair had climbed into out little tree decoration on our back window! They looked like they had been having a great time over night!

On Day 15 the elves took a trip to see Santa and brought back some snow but it melted!

Winter Woodland at Baltic

Now that December is here we are fully in the countdown to Christmas! We have already done our Santa visit and now we have been to Winter Woodland at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts!

Winter Woodland is a fun craft and song session on Saturday and Sundays running for the rest of December!

We were booked in for the 10am opening session on December the first! Once we got into the centre we made our way up to level two via the glass lifts. James was absolutely loving the view up the river from the lift! Once we got up we were greeted by some elves who told us all about how they sort all the Christmas cards and make sure they get to where they are going!

We were then invited over to the craft area to start making some Christmas decorations based on woodland animals! Freddie at this point had got very upset and scared by the people dressed up as elves that daddy tried to calm him down while mummy did some crafting with James who was really enthusiastic! Eventually Freddie came and sat on my knee and calmed right down when he found a glue stick and some googly eyes and he had fun with them!

James had such a good time making a fox and a robin and even an erm alien! Mummy made a fox with a bit of help from Freddie!

Once we had finished crafting it was time for some hot chocolate and marshmallows while

we helped to write a 12 days of christmas woodland animals song! There was also a room to the side which had bubble lights and plastic ice blocks and fake snowballs in! James loved this snow room and him and Freddie had so much fun launching snowballs at Daddy!

Tickets which are priced at £13 for one adult and one child are still available for these sessions which are running on December 8th,9th,15th,16th,22nd and 23rd! Baltic have very kindly offered readers a 20% discount using the code WINTER20. Tickets can be purchased here
