A peg-leg donkey
- Cut out legless donkey from card.
- Wrap wool five times around a piece of card about 6cm wide.
- Take off card and knot at one fold.
- Cut through wool to create tail, and glue on.
- The cloak is a piece of paper folded in half with the verse printed on one side. (The cloak was an adaptation to fit in with the Palm Sunday theme.)
- Legs are pegs (available very cheaply from supermarkets) – peg legs work for all sorts of animals!

Run 21st Century Parent
Run 21st Century Parent alongside a toddler group. Where parents can be doing what thy normally do or join the group in another side room. The sessions are 15-20 minutes long and run at two different times, so that parents can help look after each others children. If possible, why not have a floating crèche worker in toddler group to help as well?
