I saw the most fabulous elephant at The Little Green Paintbox the other day and immediately ran out into the street where DH had put the recycling to be collected. What the bin man thought of the mad woman in her PJs, I’ve no idea, but I rescued my milk carton and set about following the instructions.
Pocket Dictator was happy to do blu-ing (as she calls glue-ing) for a while but went in search of CBeebies fairly soon, leaving me and a knackered old A-Z that I’d been meaning to put out in the recycling. Cue lightbulb moment and one damn fine Elephant.

Then I got carried away and delved deeper into the recycle box for a large milk carton, some tin foil and LOTS of glitter and created a Big Brother, Bollywood style.

love it love it love it!
three guesses what we’ll be doing next non-nursery day
Brilliant isn’t it? I’m just waiting for a big milk carton now so I can have a pair!
I agree – I saw the little green paintbox’s elephant too and we will SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO be making one. It is the cleverest idea yet!
Yours came out WONDERFULLY!
Thanks for linking up
