The content's of Dora's backpack 1

After watching Dora Miss L wanted a map to get us to the shops. We got out the OS map of Nottingham (which we haven't had much opportunity to use as we haven't done much rambling since we had kids. In fact we never did much before, but it always seemed like a good idea). Then we got some tracing paper out. Miss L copied some roads and rivers and Mr G did some scribbles. The map is laminated to protect it I guess from those outdoor pusuits that involve getting wet and muddy (our map is still in pristine condition). But it also protected the map from colouring pencils, meaning they could both scribble to their heart's content. A much enjoyed activity which we made up ourselves in the moment. I love those moments of random inspiration ;)
