Umbrella's?

We went to a great activity this week - making parasols for a Jazz parade. We learnt all about the history of the parades/marches in New Orleans and looked over a couple of examples before they got to have a go themselves.

The girls had great fun coming up with different themes for their 'umbrella'.
Rose went with an underwater theme - the ideas were her own but she had help with the execution.

Lilly just liked the ribbons,

while both Tulip and Sunflower went for a pirate theme.
