So, Leo is being christened at the end of the month :)
And I was thinking of setting up an activity table in the taverna where we're having the lunchtime reception to amuse the children.
Does anyone have any crafty ideas, bearing in mind it's a taverna so it can't really be anything too messy (kids will be in their best clothes!) or loud ::)! And there might not be anyone to sit and supervise all the time :P

I've got a few ideas - obviously colouring; and I thought maybe necklace making with beads or even pasta!
Any other good ideas to keep the LO's out of mischief?!
Thanks!

Stickers or fuzzy felt (if you know what I mean by that - it may just be a UK thing I guess  :-\ )

Yeh - fuzzy felt would be great - but can't get it here :(
But I could find stickers! :-*

D'you think homemade play dough would be too messy?

I think playdough would be fine...  I'd just worry about it being thrown everywhere though!

What about stamper pens / or just stamps?

Thanks!
