Daffodil Pinwheels for Wales


T spent two days in Wales this week.  The daffodil is the national flower of Wales, so I made a few daffodil pinwheels for C and R using a template from DLTK.


The pinwheels didn't really spin that well, but they looked pretty sitting on the table as we read The Island of Fairies, a story from Wales.  This story can be found in the book, Around the World in 80 Tales.  This treasury features traditional tales from six continents, and I am happy that we own a copy.  The tales are typically two pages long and so far, we have enjoyed those that we have read.  It's a fun way to explore the world.

I want to thank everyone who left comments wishing T a safe journey.  He is having a wonderful time, and learning a lot about the United Kingdom.  He has done so many amazing things, for example while he was in Wales, he abseiled 70 feet off a tower wall at Penrhyn Castle!!!!  He also reported that he ate haggis, and loved it!
