Party time in our house, friends coming round, big tradition of homemade games going back certainly 3 generations that I know of. My Nanna being an expert at circle games, although the prizes were a bit different in those days, I remember handkerchiefs with nursery rhymes on or your initial embroidered in the corner, hey, sometimes it was someone else's initial, but somehow just as coveted, and brown plastic combs, or murray mints, and once I won a tiny bottle of bubble-bath, I was on cloud nine. Anyway, although G never had the joy to meet this pocket wonder of a Nanna, she has fully imbibed the ethos of cutting up that cereal box and making a party game. I was simply the provider of scissors, water, brushes and getting the paint down from the shelf, I was beginning to feel a bit left out when I got offered to do some of the background, and was asked a little bit of advice about the boots. I am proud to say I also cut the mouth bit out of the beard. The rest from sketching out to painting, cutting out and checking it worked was all down to G, another pocket wonder I should say. A pin the tail on the donkey style game, but it is pin the 6 different features on the Father Christmas. Blu tak on the back of each feature, a scarf to gently blindfold your competitors, and optional spinning of course...
