paper plate pictures!!!! I gave the children a paper plate each, plus one for myself and for Andrew, and some food-colouring pens I had left over from another food-crafting moment, and it kept them occupied until dinner was ready, and then they ate their dinner off them. I didn't think to take pictures but I have to admit, we did it again today at lunch! Esmes on the left is spongebob squarepants:
With the added benefit that after dinner we would not have even more washing up. We both hate the washing up anyway, and our dishwasher is broke and un-fixable until we find where we put the instruction manual and warranty last november when we bought it(uurgh).
..I later found andrew had washed the paper plates - so we could then put them in the paper recycling bin, no waste, hooray!!!

What a wonderful idea!!
I'm sure your children had fun with this!
A mother after my own heart. I think this idea is so good, you should through all the dirty crockery away - after all you can't possible wash it with out the dishwasher - and always use paper plates, bowls and cups. ( I mean washing up liquid, sinks, tea towels they just seem crazy things to go back to after a dishwasher... there again they do seem kina retro all that sink , tea towel, washing up liquid stuff, and you are a groovy reto chick after all. Get to that sink Hannah and do the washing up!!!!
