Detangling hair and searching for the very un-festive but pernicious nit isn't great but does give time for some good discussion as to what the next day of Christmas should be.  G has some pretty tricky ideas inspired on the whole by Mr Maker, but until we work out the finer details, stencil cutting was something we could get our, I am glad to say nit free heads round this very night. G drew the subjects, I said I would cut out the shapes, but then the problems began about which bit you will see on the paper and which bit is left white from the stencil. Attempts at Father Christmas left us a bit frustrated as his detailed face became a big hole. A Christmas tree with surrounding presents worked much better, and G was pleased to discover that the angel cut out we thought we were throwing away could be used to make a halo-ish aura shape, next to it. Many angel pictures were then produced until the template was quite soggy and undefined round the edges....
