Middle Earth Easter Craft
« on: March 22, 2018, 09:33:48 PM »
I spent a few hours with grandson Aiden (age 7) who plays Gandalf in every game of "The Hobbit - Escape from Goblin Town". When he was taken by his mother and granny to Harry Potter World kept asking the guides and staff "Where is Gandalf?"

So when his school decided on "craft homework" of a decorated egg he decided on ....

Characters from the JRR Tolkegg's trilogy "The Lord of the Eggs"

Eggdalf and the Balregg

Alright! That's just awesome! 8)

He certainly has the right spirit and influence. I'm sure you're overjoyed that he didn't go for PokeBalls or something similar...

And I love the names! lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Thanks for all the kind words.  He was really pleased yesterday after the Easter Service.  He did not win a prize in the competition but the Head Teacher gave him a Special Award certificate and a chocolate egg.
