Noah and Ivy have their pre school orientation day next Wednesday.

There are a great many rules that I had, either, forgotten or have changed since Lily went to kindy.

One of which is no backpacks. At least none with zippers, hooks or ties.

The aim is to teach the children independence and so we were asked to provide them with a bag that was easy to open and big enough to take home all of  their… creations

and a fruit bag was needed too.

I looked around and found some gorgeous designs but just could not justify paying $30 each for a drawstring bag.

So I made some

and the fruit bags

and I’m quite proud of myself so I thought I’d show you my pre school preparation, you know, just for something completely different.
