Today is the start of the UK’s Children’s Book Week, a celebration of reading for pleasure for children of primary school age (5-11) with special events taking place all over the country in schools, libraries and bookshops. 79 years old and going from strength to strength, the theme of this year’s Children’s Book Week is “books from around the world“.

Hi Carrie,
Be brave, go on! It’s not that bad at all – in fact I’d say it is less messy than normal painting. And the threading on pipecleaners makes it much easier for small hands and fingers than threading onto string which is so much floppier.
Hi Hackney Hackette,
We only used 3 colours – red blue and yellow, and to be honest I don’t think the yellow really showed up that well, so just red and blue would work fine probably.
Yes, the Chapman bros. exhibition should be interesting – if you do get to see it please let me know what you thought!
Oh Zoe, you do find us some marvelous books to look at – always something new and fabulous!! Love your book reviews!!
And of course… LOVE the bangles. And the fact that you can indeed eat them!! Much better than the “original” sweetie chain thingies…

Hi Maggy, yes, you can indeed munch on the bracelets -always an added benefit of any crafty project isn’t it when it can double as a snack!
