that looks like so much fun. I don’t actually have that many flowers growing in the garden but I have been known to buy cheap bunches so Goblin can mess around with them.

We used to do this when I was a kid, too! Only we called it perfume. We put the water in cups and tried to give it to our parents. 🙂

In reply to Eddie.

Your comment just made my day! One of the most important things to me, in my daycare, is to provide the Hooligans with those experiences that we had when we were kids – good, old-fashioned fun, so I LOVE hearing that an activity that we’ve done reminds a reader of something they did when they were a child. Glad this brought back some happy memories for you. 🙂

In reply to Kierna Corr (@CiarnaC). What about hitting the clearance rack at a garden center, Kierna? Could you could pick up some containers of plants that are past their best, and let the kids have a go at them?

Oh, that takes me back! I used to spend hours making flower soup and fairy houses with my friend next door when we were kids!

Love it, you are so fortunate to have such lovely flowers to snip off & add to your soup, ours is mainly bark chippings, grass & weeds!
