Make Your Own Snakes and Ladders

Yesterday we spent the afternoon making our own snakes and ladders game. I taught the kids how to measure and use a ruler to draw straight lines and create 2x2cm squares. They had a great time drawing in numbers and their various snakes and ladders afterwards.

About

Mephala is a strange and rather interesting green organic human fascinated by handmade stuffed dolls, mythical space leviathans, and long calcified dinosaurs. She regularly fantasizes about floating above Jupiter watching the Great Red Spot spit out its eggs.

This blog chronicles her adventures on that thrilling roller coaster ride of life, attachment parenting two precocious cats (well, the cats have grown up) and 2 human children, 5 year old Wolf and 2 year old Kitten who, like their namesakes, keep her on her toes.
