Sharks @ 7 & 3/4: Colouring

I had every intention of this being a proper Sharks @ 7 & 3/4 video. However, our sister got married this weekend, so all planning went out the window because I was partying all weekend long. The best kind of party. 

Instead, I let the kids loose on my shark colouring book!

All the colours

They seemed to enjoy it. 

Co-operating and everything!

Getting creative

Dylan coloured quicker than Addy, so he started to draw some extras. Naturally, Addy did too. But they are the cutest pictures. And yes, there is blood dripping from the mouth of Addy's shark.

The finished thing. Almost, it gains a few more jellies.

Addy's was inspired by Elmer the Elephant. Dylan never specified what inspired his. 

Sea Turtle and fish.

Jellyfish.

These were a specific jellyfish, but Dylan speaks too fast and my brain is too slow today to ask him to repeat it slow enough for me to jot it down! Regardless, such beautiful additions to the picture.

So what are we doing next time? I'll let Addy tell you.


 
That's right. The next Sharks @ 7 3/4s falls just after my 28th birthday. So I am leaving my camera with them. I have shown them a few shark cakes on Pinterest. Now all I have to do is wait a month to see what they come up with. Addy already has a few ideas. I cannot wait!

'Til next time!

Crazy little things.

Recycla-cools: EcoBricks

Image
You know how you see something once and then several times over that day you see that same thing over and over? Well, that happened to me recently. I was scrolling through Instagram and someone mentioned EcoBricks . It came up a couple more times and then my co-worker messaged me, asking about them! It was a sign from the universe, my next post was going to be about EcoBricks after doing some much needed research. EcoBrick wall. Photo from cobute 🌍 WHAT IS AN ECOBRICK?!  I think the website puts it best: An EcoBrick is a reusable building block created by packing clean and dry used plastic into a plastic bottle to a set density. Essentially, plastic bottles are stuffed with non-recyclable plastics to create a sturdy building block with almost limitless uses. Much like the water bottle houses I covered recently. EcoBrick is a global organisation which is trying to give our essentially value-less trash value. By packing it into a bottle, it has been removed fr...

Final Friday Top Five!

Image
It occurs to me that I should be thinking about Christmas... But I don't have the brain for it, so it can be Not Christmas for just a little bit longer. So have a Top Five! Final Friday Top Five Disney Sidekicks From Movies In/On/Around Water Yes, that specific. Do you know how few Disney films are based around water? So some real liberties have been taken. Starting with... 5. Ray (The Princess & The Frog) Picture from Disney Wiki Bear with me on this one. So he's in The Princess & The Frog , which has an actual water-y sidekick - Louis the Alligator. But Ray lives in the Bayou which is a swampy habitat. While I like the trumpet playing gator, I like Ray better. He is voiced by Jim Cummings , who voices everyone! From Scar's singing voice to modern Winnie the Pooh, if the film is animated this guy is likely to be in it. Plus, he sings My Belle Evangeline which is not only beautiful but the song my sister walked down the aisle to. It ma...

Marine Creature of the Month JUNE

I was hoping to have the next Sharks at 7 & 3/4 s filmed and edited by now, but the boy ran off half way through filming and then told me he doesn't want to do it because it was too stressful! So that is still in the works right now. Instead, have a #MCotM! Manta Ray via GIPHY Kingdom: Animalia Class: Chordata Conservation Status: Vunerable (VU) Found: International waters Diet: Zooplankton Weight: Up to 1,350kg (2,980lbs) Size: From 5.5m (18ft) to 7m (23ft) Habitat: Temperate, subtropical and tropical waters; pelagic waters. Manta rays, known online as majestic flap flaps (!), are huge and beautiful creatures. Just look at it flap along - look at it! Fangirling aside, they are incredible. There are two species of manta ray: M. birostris (the larger of the two) and M. alfredi (named after Prince Alfred). They are both very similar in appearance, with a few key differences. As already mentioned, M. birostris are larger, but they are also darker...
