We are going to try and run a craft club in our P7 year at school on a Friday morning. The aim is to be less tablet, PlayStation and phone minded trying to show kids that technology isn't everything. So I will be armed with tapestry needles, bits of canvas and left over wool hoping to have some converts!
Its very sad that technology has totally taken over for hobbies with the young.....now I'm sounding old!!

Don't despair Norty. My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter rang her granddad a couple of days ago to tell me she had won a star at nursery school. For making the best guitar out of a tissue box.
That adds to the star she got for her binoculars made from sellotape and toilet roll inners.
Just sit and watch them play and you will see just how inventive and imaginative their little brains are. Without a tablet in sight.

I love that about nursery, their brain are incredibly inventive. Sadly though some loose their inventiveness when it's not used enough as they get older, or they seem shy to be seen liking to play with Lego at 12 which my class are.
I've brought in colouring for fun already and have converts there, I've taken in a huge box of Lego which gets played with occasionally, the knex stuff hardly gets played with as you need to have an imagination to create with it.
