When Bosch challenged us to get messy to see what sort of benefit we might get from a Bosch Athlet cordless vacuum cleaner I didn’t quite expect to be picking up two and a half thousand glitter stars. After all, a Christmas cracker creation kit isn’t exactly inherently mucky is it?!
The kids had a great time making the crackers, even though the majority of the end bits were missing and we had to replace them with loo roll tubes. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. Things went pretty well with the rolling of tubes, the sticking of the explody bits and the ramming in of the hats and amusing jokes. Even the point where we rolled the tissue paper round and tied it on went well. However the demands for glue and glitter was what eventually caused us to come unstuck…
So Bosch, how about taking pity on me and helping me out with a vacuum cleaner? HINT HINT…
This post is a entry in Bosch’s Show Us Your Mess competition. Bosch kindly provided me with a make your own cracker kit but the rest is pure us :)
