    Just spending some time perusing your blog after following a link here to check out your Letter Recognition activity. What a wonderful collection of ideas of things to do with sticks, so many more than I would have thought of. Can't wait til the snow is gone so we can find some sticks.
    I asked if you could share you letter recognition activity over at Toddler Idea Tuesday (linky goes live every Tuesday), would love if you could share this too.

    Oh wow. This is so clever. I love the alphabet sticks and the fairy sticks. I have also seen a few gumnuts around lately, so we might collect a few and start creating. Great ideas. Thanks.

    Hello Nicola

    Thanks for visiting my blog and pointing me to this wonderful stick blog post of yours! I'm also pleased in that you also use colour with sticks very effectively - we could have some great conversations about all of this!

    I'm visiting Australia in Feb-April and if I'm near you then it could be a good opportunity to grab a cup of coffee.
