Glorious Glitter

I'm always intrigued by the unexpected things that engage a child's attention particularly when it comes to gifts. Time and time again it seems to be the simple things that amuse them most. Recently my daughter had her Birthday and she received the usual pile of amazing goodies, in amongst them were two small pots of glitter, one gold and one red. These two unassuming pots have kept both children amused on countless occasions already. They've decorated bits of paper, sprinkled tissue (and my table), made fabric dolly bedding sparkle, adorned Birthday cards, posters and even a cardboard treasure chest topped with shiny colourful jewels. Who would have thought that two small pots could bring such a BIG variety of entertainment into the home!
