It was after dinner. Princess wanted the telly on. I didn't. So we came up with a game which soon took her mind right off it. It was so simple, involving a straw and a craft pompom, but both girls loved it. Pompom racing. We started with a pompom each and a straw each. The finish line was the kitchen door. We had to move our pompom by blowing it with the straw and the first to cross the finish line was the winner.
Princess is very competitive, so really enjoyed this, and wanted to do it over and over again she kept coming up with different obstacles for the pompom to go through, such as toilet rolls, her rollerskate, tunnels made out of books and lots of others. Grapie didn't quite get the hang of it, although she can blow through a straw when it involves making bubbles in her drink! But she enjoyed watching too.
When we had finished, I gave Princess a winners medal which she loved.
And the telly stayed off. Which I loved. Simple, fun, perfect.
