Note1
   Once upon a time there was a little girl called Little
Red-Riding Hood. She was named this because of the
lovely red Hooded cape that she always wore.
One day, her mummy said " I want you to take some
food to Grandma's house. "
Grandma wasn't very well, and to make her feel a bit
better, Red Riding-Hood's mummy had made some
sandwiches, baked some cakes and bought some fruit.
These Things were packed into a basket so that Red

Riding Hood could take them to Grandma's.
When all the things were packed into the basket, Mummy
covered them with a cloth. "Now put on your pretty red
cape, Red Riding-Hood," said Mummy. "Then you can set
off for for Grandma's house."
So Red Riding-Hood did that then off she went.
"Be sure you stay on the path that leads throught the
wood," said Mummy, as her little girl waved goodbye.
"Don't stray into the wood." "I won't, Mummy," called Red

Riding-Hood. "I know the way to go so don't worry,
Mummy. See you later."
     Red Riding-Hood loved going to visit Grandma. The
wood she had to walk through was full of pretty flowers
and trees, and there were lots of nice woodland
creatures that shyly peeped out at her as she walked
along the path. Red Riding-Hood knew that these
creatures were friendly and was not afraid.
But not all of the creatures who lived in the wood were

friendly. There was one animal who lived in the wood,
who no one liked. He was a big, bad old wolf. All the other
woodland creatures kept away from this crafty, greedy,
nasty old wolf.
    Well, as she walked through the wood, Red
Riding-Hood heard the sound of wood being chopped. Soon
she saw her daddy, who was a woodcutter, busy cutting
wood. "Where are you going, Red Riding-Hood?" he asked.
"I am taking food to Grandma's" she replied.

"Well be careful" said Daddy. "There is a bad old wolf
living in this wood." "I'll be careful." said Red Riding-Hood.
"The wolf won't harm me." But that bad old wolf was
hiding behind a tree. "So that little girl has got food" he
grinned. "Yum yum." "Now, how do I get to Grandma's
house before Red Riding-Hood?" Thought the wolf. Then
he remembered that there was a shorter path that led
through the wood. So off he ran, as fast as he could.Little
Red Riding-Hood didn't see the wolf hurring ahead.

 He ran along the path that went through the thickest part
of the wood. "I am sure to get to the house first,"
grinned the wicked wolf. "Then all that lovely food will be
mine." The thought of the food made him run faster and
faster.
   On the other side of the wood was Grandma's house.
Red Riding-Hood's daddy had built it for Grandma. It was a
nice wooden house with a bright yellow roof and a pretty
red door. Planted round the house were lots of flowers

Grandma loved living there.
    Panting and puffing, The bad old wolf came running up
the garden path to Grandma's house. He had arrived
before Red Riding-Hood, and now all he had to do was to
get into the house as quickly as he could. So he knocked
on the door, rat-a-tat-tat ! Inside Grandma was sitting
reading. "Who is there?" she asked, when she heard the
knock on the door. The wolf, making his voice as squeky
as he could, called, "It is me, Little Red Riding-Hood"

"Mummy has sent some food for you Grandma."
Grandma smiled, put her book down, and called out, "Then
come in my dear. The door is not locked. And as it is
nearly tea-time, you can stay and join me." Outside the
wolf gave a big grin. Everything seemed to be working
just right!
Goodness! What a surprise poor Grandma had when the
door burst open and in rushed that bad old wolf. "It isn't
really Red Riding-Hood," laughed the wolf. "It is me!"

"The clever, artful, hungry wolf!" He gave Grandma such

a toothy grin and said, "Get into that wardrobe and hide.
Keep as quiet as a mouse. If you come out, I shall gobble
you up!" Grandma quickly jumped in the wardrobe and hid.
Well, now Grandma was out of the way, the wolf could
carry out the next part of his plan. Putting on Grandma's
shawl, bedcap and glasses, he quickly got into bed. Just

then he heard someone coming up the garden path. "Tea
is on it's way!" he grinned. Sure enough, just as the wolf
was scrambling into Grandma's bed, Red Riding-Hood was
coming up the garden path. She reached the front door
and knocked on it, rat-a-tat-tat. "Please may I come in
Grandma," cried out the little girl. "It's me, Little Red

over his ears, the shawl wrapped round his hairy

"Do come in, Red Riding-Hood. I have been expecting you."
So the little girl went in. "How did you know I was coming
Grandma?" she asked. "Oh, a little bird told me," said the
wolf in his special squeaky voice. As Red Riding-Hood put
down the basket, she looked at Grandma. What a suprise
she had. "Goodness, you do look different," she said. I
haven't been very well my dear," said the wolf. Well, Red
Riding-Hood put some food on a plate and took it to

wolf's ears. "Goodness Grandma what big ears you have."
Said the little girl. "All the better to hear you with," said
the wolf, his eyes gleaming at the sight of the food. Red
Riding-Hood noticed the wolf's eyes. "Oh, Grandma, what
big eyes you have." she said. "All the better to see you
with," grinned the wolf hungrily. Then Red Riding-Hood
noticed the wolf's teeth. "My goodness, Grandma!" she
gasped. "What big teeth you have!" The wolf gave a great

wolf. "And I'm a clever, hungry wolf too! I have bben

Daddy. "I will soon stop him." The wolf was just about to
start eating when he looked up. Standing in the doorway

"About"
Note1
     The legend of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men began over six hundred
years ago, deep down in the heart of Sherwood Forest. Robin was a loyal
subject of King Richard who was away fighting in the Crusades. The King was
so brave and noble that people named him 'Richard the Lionheart'.
     England was ruled by the evil Prince John. who was free to do as he
wanted while King Richard was away. Prince John spent all his days collecting
taxes from the poor, helped by the wicked Sherriff of Nottingham.
     Robin Hood became an outlaw and was forced to hide in Sherwood
Forest because the Sheriff was after him. The Sheriff's one desire was to
catch bold Robin and him men, then imprison them all in the darkest dungeon
of Nottingham Castle.
     Robin was an expert Archer and would often spend his time practising
his skill. Soon Robin had gathered together a loyal group of followers. One
day he got them all together and told them of his plan.

"We can't stand by and watch the poor people pay taxes 'til they starve to
death!" said Robin to his men. "we'll rob the rich and give it back to the
poor!" And so, because his kind deeds, Robin and his men soon became a hero
all over the land.
When the Sheriff's men came riding along the forest paths with their
saddle bags full of money, Robin and his men would jump from behind the
trees, ties up the soldiers and grab the gold. Sometimes the soldiers would
drive carts laoded with treasure through Sherwood. Then Robin's band of
men would hide up in the oak tree branches. As the carts passed below,
they would silently reach down and grab the gold. What a surprise the
guards who drove the carts would have when they drove into the courtyard
of Nottingham Castle and find that every bag of gold had gone! This made
the Sheriff angrier than ever, for he knew that Robin Hood and his outlaw
band had outwitted him once more!

     Next time Prince John came from London to Nottingham Castle, the
Sheriff had no gold to give him. "Capture Robin Hood at once!" screamed the
Prince, "or I will hang you from the gates of your own castle!" Now this
made even the wicked Sheriff tremble with fear. Soon notices appeared all
over Sherwood. The Sheriff's men nailed them to the tree trunks in all the
clearings and glades of the forest.
        The sign said >>
The Sheriff of Nottingham offers
                            1,000 gold pieces as a reward for
                            the capture of ROBIN HOOD.
But Robin was quite safe in the forest, no-one would ever give him away.
Stories of his brave deeds had spread far and wide. Wandering minstrels
sang songs about him, and the poor up and down the land called him a hero.
     A minstrel called Alan-a-Dale came to live in Sherwood together with

many more men the Sheriff wanted to kill. There was Will Scarlet, who
always wore a red cloak instead of the Lincoln Green the rest of the
Merrie Men wore. Then the was Little John, a great giant, who could kill a
man with one blow of his huge wooden staff. Robin Hood was the only man
he couldn't beat. When they first met, Robin knocked Little John into a
stream and gave him a soaking-after that the two became friends.
     Once they were deep in the forest, Robin and his band felt quite safe
from the Sheriff and his men, for they knew every secret path to take
and every hollow tree in which they could hide. When the day was done Robin
and his men would have supper under the Greenwood trees. Then, before bed
they would sit around a log fire telling stories of their many adventures.
Some nights, if there was lots of food on the table, Friar Tuck would
appear as if by magic. "sit down and eat your fill good Friar!" Robin joked.
For he knew Friar Tuck could eat every scrap of food on the table-and

then some more. The Sheriff's soldiers ofter visited Friar Tuck's church and
took all the money he had collected to help the poor and sick. Sad to say
Friar Tuck was a bit too large round his middle to use a bow and arrow. In
spite of that he often found ways of helping theoutlaws.
     One evening just before sunset, Robin and his band were having a
contest to see who could fire the most arrows into target pinned to a
tree trunk. All of a sudden the outlaws heard the snap of a twig and the
rustling of leaves. Quick as a flash they seemed to melt away into the
Greenwood. Out of the trees and into the clearing stepped a beautiful girl
dressed in fine clothes. It was Robin's Lady Marion, or 'Maid Marion' as she
was known in Sherwood Forest. Lady Marion was a great favourite of the
Sheriff and often stayed within the wall of Nottingham Castle as his guest.
But whenever she could, Marion would dress in Lincoln Green, take her
longbow and ride secretly into the forest to help Robin Hood. When they

saw Maid Marion, the outlaws came out of hiding to greet her. "I have little
time to spare," she gasped. "The Sheriff is planning to trap all of you at
dawn tomorrow. Somehow I will find a way to let you know his plan." And
with that she was gone!
     That night after dinner in the Great Hall of Nottingham Castle,Maid
Marion over heard the Sheriff tel the Captain of the Guard his plan. Maid
Marion hid behind a curtain that hung at the back of the Sheriff's chair.
When she was quite sure she had heard all of his wicked plan, she slipped up
stairs to her bedroom high up in the castle tower. "I must go to Sherwood
straight away and warn Robin," whispered Marion. But when she peeped
outside her bedroom door, the Sheriff had posted a guard on either side.
She was trapped! Quickly she locked her door, then carefully tore a square
of white clothe from her bed sheet. On it she wrote these words :
   >>>>>>>> Beware the wagons - but capture the donkey

Next she wrapped the message round an arrow, then took her longbow from
its hiding place. Maid Marion crossed to the window. It would take every bit
of strength she had to fire her arrow away from the castle and into the
forest. She slowly took aim, pulled back the bowstring and fired. The arrow
flew high over the castle moat in the moonlight and dropped into the dark
trees beyond. One of Robins men on watch at the edge of the forest heard
the arrow thud against a tree. When he saw the message he blew three loud
blasts on his hunting horn. In next to no time Robin and the Merrie Men
heard the signal and hurried to the spot to read Marion' message. "We have
all night to think of a plan," chuckled Robin. "At dawn the Sheriff's men will
be in for a big surprise!"
When they got back to camp they were all sat round the fire when Robin
suddenly smiled and said "My Merrie Men I have a plan, and this is it." They
all huddled closer together and Robin explained his plan.

     Next morning Robin Hood and his Merrie men awoke and went to their
positions in the forest and waited for Robin to give a low whistle, this was
the signal to attack the Sheriff's men.
Hour after hour went by then suddenly they heard the sound of the wagons
coming through the forest. Closer and closer they got until they were right
underneath where Robin's men where hiding in the trees.
 Robin gave a low whistle! The men up in the trees jumped down on top of
the wagons. They began to bang on the side of the barrels with their
staves. Of course, Robin had guessed that the Sheriff's men were hiding
inside the barrels. What a fright they got from all that noise and banging.
Next, Robin and his men drove the wagons out of the forest to the brow
of a hill. "Come, Little John," shouted Robin. "Show the Sheriff how strong
you are!" And with that Little John grabbed each barrel and one by one
tossed them down the hill.

     How the Sheriff's men Yelled and shouted as they rolled over and over
down the slope. Some of the barrels fell into the river that flowed at the
bottom. They floated downstream bobbing up and down in the water. Robin
and the outlaws roared with laugher. Now Friar Tuck had remembered the
last part of Maid Marion's message that said, "Catch the donkey!" So while
Robin's men had been doing all the hard work, Friar Tuck calmly stepped
from behind a large tree, grabbed the reins of the donkey, knocked the
hooded man to the ground, then sat on him until Robin came. "What have we
hear, good Friar?" cried Little John when the outlaws returned. "I do
believe that you have flattened the Sheriff of Nottingham! joked Robin as he
pulled the hooded to his feet. Meanwhile Friar Tuck had discovered that the
donkey-cart was full of gold from Nottingham Castle. "We'll have the
biggest feast Sherwood Forest has ever seen," giggled the Friar, patting his
stomach. "That we will," cried Robin laughing. "But first I'll deal with our

back and placked him on the donkey, back to front. he was last seen
trotting back to Nottingham.
     That night a great feast was held in the Greenwood. People came from
miles around to share the food and join in the fun. After all the food was
bought there was still plenty of gold left over, Robin Hood and the Merrie
Men of Sherwood Forest gave it to the poor.

errand for his mother, when he was stopped by
an old man. Abenazer was his name, and he was a
wicked old man who was greedy for riches. "You

nice not to be quite so poor." Abenazer grinned
slyly. "I can make you rich for the rest of your
life, if you come with me now and do me a small
service." Aladdin was puzzled and curious, so he
let Abenazer lead him to a high mountain which
had a tunnel that wound its way through the
inside of it. It was a dangerous tunnel full of
crumbling rocks, and no-oneever set foot in it.

can carry. Just bring me the ancient lamp of
bronze that lies amongst the treasure." Aladdin's
eyes were wide with wonder. "All I have to do is

"It will keep you safe from the dangers of the
cave." Aladdin put it on, wondering what dangers
lay ahead for him, and felt a little frightened.
"The entrance to the tunnel is a bit small," he
said bending to squeeze through the small gap in
the rock. At that, Abenazer raised his arms and
shouted, "

the large rock rolled to one side revealing the

rock will close up and never open again," warned
Abenazer. Aladdin set off carefully down the
tunnel, which soon opened into a large cave that
was lit up with all manner of beautiful, glittering
delights. He couldn't believe his eyes. He wandered,
wide eyed, round all the chests filled with gold,
silver and jewels. Then he remembered Abenazer's

Warning. Quickly, he set about searching for the

one of the chests and scooping it up, he ran as
fast as he could down the tunnel. To his horror,
he could see the rock begin to roll back over the
entrance. "Quickly!" cried Abenazer. "Throw me the
lamp!" "Help me!" cried Aladdin, "Stop the rock
from shutting the entrance!" But Abenazer wasn't
interested in Aladdin. "Throw me The lamp!"

help him, and no-one else knew he was there.
   He picked his way back to the cave and wept.
Hours past and Aladdin felt helpless. Then he
remembered the ring that Abenazer had given to
him. He pulled it out of his pocket. It was a

voice boomed. "Tell me your wish," Aladdin was
stunned. "I just want to be out of here and home
safe and sound." Aladdin felt a rush of wind take

" Aladdins mother couldn't speak through
fear, but Aladdin was used to Genies now. "We have
no food in the house," he said. "Please fetch
enough food to fill the table." In a flash the
table was filled with a feast that Aladdin
thought only the Emperor himself ever enjoyed.

all Abenazer had wanted. Aladdin looked down at
his shabby clothes and immediately thought of
another wish. "Please give us fine clothes to
replace our old and tattered rags." No sooner
had he said it than a chest full of fine garments
appeared, all made in silks and velvets and
decorated with lace and gems. "We can't have good
food, fine clothes without a fine house to go with
them," thought Aladdin. In the blink of an eye, his

third wish was granted. From then on, Aladdin and
his mother lived a very grand life indeed.
     One day, as Aladdin was out in the city the
Emperor and his daughter came his way in the
Royal Procession. They were riding elephants, and
many other nobles rode behind them. It was
forbidden to look upon the Emperor's daughter
because she was so beautiful, but Aladdin couldn't
help himself. As soon as he set eyes on her, he

fell in love with her, and knew he wanted to
marry her. Summoning the Genie of the lamp,
Aladdin made a wish. "Bring me gold and jewels so
that I can give them to the Emperor." The wish
was granted, and Aladdin set off for the palace
with his gifts. Baboobadoor, the Emperor's
daughter, saw Aladdin from behind a screen and
wondered why this handsome stranger had come
to the palace, and hoped it had something to do

more impressed with the gifts he had brought. In
return for them, he offered Badoobadoor's hand
in marriage. Aladdin and badoobadoor were
married and were given their own palace to live
in. Life was full of exitement, and Aladdin's
mother also lived there with riches of her own.
Aladdin had forgotten about Abenazer, but
Abenazer had not forgotten him - or the lamp..

Dressing as a peddler. he went to the palace one

idea to replace Aladdin's old lamp with a new one.
"Wouldn't it be a lovely surprise for him?" She
sent her slave to the peddler to exchange the
old lamp for a new one. The deed done Abenazer
left the city quickly and went to his secret hiding
place near the mountains. Rubbing the lamp, the

Genie immediately appeared to ask what Abenazer
wished. At his command, the Genie transported
Aladdin's palace and Badoobadoor and the lamp
away to a far off land, where Aladdin would
never find them. Aladdin was in despair when he
discovered what had happened. What could he do?
Desparately, he rubbed the magic ring. "Please
bring my Badoobadoor back to me," he begged the
Slave of the Ring. "This needs a stronger magic

take me to where the lamp is," pleaded Aladdin. In
an instant, Aladdin was standing in his own palace.
Badoobadoor was weeping bitterly , her head in
her hands. "Don't cry Badoobadoor," he soothed, "I
am here." Badoobadoor was startled but very
pleased to see her Aladdin again. Badoobadoor
told Aladdin how Abenazer kept her as his slave

bottle containing a deadly poison. "When you pour
Abenazer's drink tonight, drop a little of this
into his goblin," he instructed Badoobadoor. That
evening, as Badoobadoor served Abenazer his wine
at dinner, she secretly emptied the poison into a
goblet and gave it to Abenazer. Greedily,
Abenazer drank it all, and ordered Badoobadoor

Sleeping Beauty
     There was once a king and queen who had no children of
their own. They wished and wished for children , but for many
years their wish did not come true.
     But then, one day, much to the delight of the king and
queen they had a lovely baby girl.
     The king and queen were so happy that they decided to
have the most wonderful christening party.
     "We shall invite everyone to our daughter`s christening,"
said the king. Then he and the queen set to work writing all
the invitations.
     Living in the land of the king were some fairies. "Make
sure you deliver the invitations to the faries first," said the
king. "It is important that they come to the christening."
     The messenger promised to do as the king asked and off he
galloped on his horse straight to the place were the faries
lived.

     The fairies were very pleased to be invited to the castle.
"Tell the king and queen that we shall come," said the fairies.
So the messenger rode off to deliver the rest of the
invitations.
    All the fairies got an invitation except one, and she was a
bad tempered fairy. When she saw the messenger ride by
without leaving her an invitation she said, "So they do not
want me come to their christening. But I
Shall
go, and they
will regret it! "
    The reason the bad tempered fairy did not get invited was
because the king and queen thought she was dead.
    On the day of the christening, all the folk of the land
started to arrive at the castle, bringing with them wonderful
gifts for the princess.
     The people loved their king and queen and so bought the
most expensive presents they could afford.
     The first to arrive were the good fairies. "As well as our
gifts we have magic blessings for your child." said the fairies.

     The first fairy gave the baby a wooden horse, and blessed
her with beauty. The second fairy brought her a beautiful
blanket and blessed the child good health. The third brought
her flowers that would never die and blessed her with
happiness.
     Just as the fourth fairy was about to give the baby her
gift the wicked fairy arrived. Everybody shrank back in terror,
as they saw the anger on her face. "You invited everybody to
the party except me." said the fairy. "But I have a gift too! "
     "This is the gift I have for your child," cackled the fairy.
"On her eighteenth birthday she will prick her finger on the
spindle of a spinning wheel and she will DIE ! " Then suddenly
the fairy vanished ! "
     "What can we do?" gasped the queen. The fourth fairy
smiled and said "I cannot stop the wicked fairy`s magic, but I
can change it. If you daughter pricks her finger, she will not
die, but she will fall asleep, and only wake up if a handsome
prince kisses her.

     The king and queen were very grateful to the fairy. But
to make sure the wicked fairy`s spell did not work, the king
ordered that all the spinning wheels in the land should be
burnt. Soon a huge bonfire of spinning wheels was burning.
     The king and queen`s daughter grew up to be a very
beautiful girl, who was healthy and very, very happy. To
celebrate her eighteenth birthday, the king and queen promised
to give their daughter a wonderful birthday party.
     On the day of the princess`s birthday party, everyone was
very busy preparing food and getting the castle ready for the
guests. So no one noticed the princess when she found a
staircase that she had never seen before. She decided she would
explore it. The staircase led to a door, the princess knocked on
     "Come in, my dear," said a voice. When the princess opened
the door and went inside she saw a nice old lady sitting at a
spinning wheel. "What is that you are using? " she asked.

     "This my dear is a spinning wheel," said the old lady. "Have
you ever used one?" Of course the princess had never seen one
before so obviously had never used one. "Come and sit at the
wheel, I will show you how it works," said the old lady.
     But as soon as the princess touched the spinning wheel,
she pricked her finger and fell to the ground, fast asleep. "Ha
ha," laughed the old lady, as she changed into the wicked fairy.
"My spell has worked just as I said it would." Then she vanished.
     By now the king and queen were womdering where their
daughter was. They searched the castle and found the strange
staircase. When they entered the room, they saw their
duaghter fast asleep on the floor next to the spinning wheel.
"Oh no," gasped the queen. "The wicked fairy`s spell has come
true."  Gently the king carried his daughter to her room and
laid her on the bed. Then the king and queen sat on their
throne to watch over their daughter. But they too began to
feel very, very sleepy. Infact everyboby who was in the castle
started to feel sleepy too.

     Down in the kitchen the cooks fell asleep as they did the
cooking, the scullery maid fell asleep and so did the kitchen
cat, bird and even the mouse.
     They all stayed that way for one hundred years, during
that time a huge forest had grown around the castle almost
blocking it from view.
     By now one hundred years had passed.
     One day a prince and his servant were riding by when the
prince happened to glance up and noticed the turrets of a
castle.
     "Who lives in the castle in the middle of the forest? asked
the prince.
     "I have heard stories of a beautiful princess who has been
asleep for a hundred years in that castle." said his servant.
     The prince was very interested in this story and asked his
servant to tell him the whole story. "I must find a way
through the forest to see this strange castle for myself," said
the prince.

     All the different paths the prince tried were blocked by
strong bramble bushes and weeds. Eventually he got out his
sword and started hacking a path through the undergrowth.
Soon the prince was very tired, but he was determined to
reach the castle, so he hacked and hacked until he reached the
castle`s gate.
     Lying asleep by the gateway were two guards. "Wake up
you lazy fellows," ordered the prince. But the guards just
snored back at him!
     Inside the castle, the prince had an even bigger surprise.
The courtyard was full of sleeping people, and everywhere he
looked there was dust and cobwebs. Grass and weeds grew
between the flagstones, and the whole castle looked dirty and
     "How can the castle have got in such a state?" thought
the prince.
     The prince decided to explore even more. Everywhere he
went he found sleeping people.

     Soon he found a room that was cleaner than the others.
there were no cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, no dust on the
floor and a king and queen sat asleep on the throne. Then the
prince saw the beautiful girl sleeping on the bed. The prince
walked toward the princess, his heart beating loudly in his
chest. He had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life
before. Slowly he bent over the princess and kissed he gently
on the cheek. Suddenly the princess`s eyelids started to move
and then she blinked her eyes open, and saw the prince.
     The spell had been broken.
     As the girl woke up, everyone else in the castle woke up
too. All the cobwebs and dust vanished, the forest that had
surrounded the castle vanished too. It was as if nothing had
ever happened. Everything was back to normal just like it was
one hundred years ago.
     As soon as the princess saw the prince she fell in love
with him and eventually they got married.
     And they lived Happily Ever After.

   Salt   Dough   Models
Note2
You will need :-
Plain white flour.
Salt and water.
Cooking oil.
A mixing bowl
Some paints.
Varnish and brush
Note3
 Before you start to do this modelling you
should ask a grown up if it alright for you to do
so, because you are going to need to use the oven
and you should never use an oven on your own.
Note4
Mix equal amounts of salt and flour in a bowl. Add a little cooking
oil and enough water to make a dough. Knead it until the dough is soft
and stretchy
( Kneading is were you keep squashing it in your hands, if
your not sure ask a grown up ).
From here you can make anything you like.
Note5
When you have made your models, leave them to dry for two days, then
ask a grown up to put them in the oven at a low light. Leave them for
four hours until they are very hard. Make sure they don`t burn.
 Now you can paint your models or maybe varnish them. Salt Dough keeps
for a long time in an airtight bag or a sealed down tin.

 This one is even easier to make. Take an envelope and cut the corners
off so that you have four triangles. Colour then in any colour you want.
You use it by slipping it over the corner of the page yuou want to mark.
Note5
These are two very simple types of book marks. I`m sure with a bit of
imagination you could come up with better ones than this! You can? Do it!
