Back to school...

School starts today...
Our school anyway.. most of Helsinki starts in one week.. sigh..
We spent three days (well half days, hour wise) last week getting the Club room ready for 30 (yes, THIRTY!) kids..ugh.. looking forward to the fun, just not the noise..

I started with hanging up a garland I made by punching shapes from paint chips.
Hey, free materials.. gotta love that. I stuck with shades of the primary colors that fit the general color scheme.




We sharpened color pencils.



And I organized my craft cupboards so I was able to fit in the new supplies.

My hands are itching to make samples now :D



And ba-da-bing we have a comfy chair in da house!



This was an old chair of my Grandma's that has been hanging around gathering dust. We purchased a cotton bed cover from Ikea, and it fits right in.


I hope I won't have to fight Sven over who gets to sit here ;)

And lucky us, we got a donation. A cute Lundby dollhouse. I'm thinking of ordering Playmobil furniture for this, as it is about the right size and won't break so easily.




This year will be interesting with less school assistants... wish me luck.

  1. The schools here don't go back until the end of Aug/beginning of Sept.

    Lovely cheerful space for the children - I wish you well coping with 30.

  2. Onnea matkaan! Näyttää kutsuvalta tuo huone. Blogissani on sinulle tunnustus, jos haluat :)

  3. Mukavalta näyttää! Valmiina vuoden haasteisiin. :D Minä olin kesällä kolme viikkoa töissä kesäjälkkärissä (ovatko iltapäiväkerhot muuten siellä päin jälkkäreitä?), ja nuo kuvat saivat taas aikaan kauhean ikävän sitä tavallisen ohjaajan/askarteluohjaajan pestiäni ja kaikkia ihania lapsia kohtaan. :)
