Children’s Artwork: Ireland
Fellow blogger Sarah from Boo, Roo and Tigger too recently started a really lovely new linky that I could not resist joining in with.

To make this card all you will need is: White card Green paint Googley eyes Green pen One keen toddler Once you have all your materials ready help your toddler to splodge out four green shapes with the cotton wool, roughly the shape of a clover leaf. Once dry, with a green ...
