Crafty little bear

Little bear is feeling much better, and he made a crown. He found a strip of cardboard packaging (detritus from me moving things) and made a diamond shape, and a square shape, then tried to do a crown. We covered it with gold wrapping paper, then I suggested he decorated it with pompoms.

Little bear got some pompoms out, the little balls of fluff that populate kiddies craft kits. Then some more, then some more and then some more. He had pompoms I had bought, pompoms from Christmas present craft kits and some just seemed to have bred like tribbles.

Little bear had a think, slid some pompoms down a slide on his castle and decided that he didn't want to use pompoms on the crown, he wanted to keep the pompoms, they were his, he was collecting them.

There are pompoms all over the place, and little bear has persuaded me that we need to buy more pompoms as a matter of greatest urgency. Actually it is a great excuse to get him out of the house to buy something inexpensive (hopefully) and away from television and computer screen. But pompoms seem to be breeding.

Little bear also had races between the pompoms and googly eyes from the same craft kits. I think he is actually getting his money's worth out of the dratted things.
