    How to sew a unicorn

    April 19, 2016 - By 

    Last week we received a lovely box of craft supplies from Baker Ross which was great as my son loves to craft after school. He’s been working his way through the box and even taking things in to school to show his class mates. As I mentioned a few weeks ago he’s interested in learning to sew so immediately wanted to make the Unicorn Sewing Kit which contained two kits. There was everything needed to make a plush unicorn including pre-cut felt pieces, plastic needle, wool, stuffing and felt stickers. Each child picked their favourite colour, I threaded the needle…

    Drawing the Queen on her 90th birthday

    April 14, 2016 - By 

    This week we received another super box of craft supplies from Baker Ross. Included was a pack of Baker Ross Self Portrait blanks which are perfect for drawing friends, family or your favourite story book character. With Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday next week, I challenged my children to draw a picture of the Queen. First they used pens to add her features and clothes. They glued on white hair, “just like Nanny!” they said. Then they added a gold crown. They accessorised with sparkly jewellery and they were finished. My 6 year old asked if we were going to send…

    Hand-painted Easter Egg Hunt sign

    March 13, 2016 - By 

    Are you getting in the mood for Easter? We definitely are and have loved doing Springtime crafts. We’re all counting down the days until the school holidays start and we can all relax from the school routine. I’ve been taking part in Easter egg hunts since I was little and I love the fact my children now enjoy it too. They both take a basket and go off around the house (and garden, weather permitting) to search for eggs to fill them with. Every year we seem to use different decorations and this year we have had a go at…

    Once again we were the lucky recipients of a bundle of craft kits from Baker Ross which kept my children busy during half term. With the weather turning a little less wintery (I can hope, can’t I?!), the children playing outside more and my tête-à-tête blooming, I declare it is time for Springtime crafting! We were sent a selection of Easter crafts. The children loved the mini birdhouse gift boxes and ceramic bird planters. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see I have been sharing some photos of these Easter makes over there. Easter egg fuse bead decoration We…

    Mother’s Day craft ideas

    February 18, 2016 - By 

    As much as we’re enjoying the half term holiday I admit to raiding our craft stash. My children love to wind down by making something and, with Mother’s Day coming up on 6th March, they have been working their way through some of the great Mother’s Day craft kits we were sent from Baker Ross. Heart Lantern Kits They loved the Heart Lantern kits, which contained 4 assorted colours and designs. Each kit included a card lantern template and coloured tissue paper. they were easy to assemble using a glue stick or glue dots. The kit costs £3.49 for a…

    Hand print art for Valentine’s Day

    February 3, 2016 - By 

    Sometimes I love being a blogger as I get the chance to work with some great craft brands. We’ve been working with Baker Ross for a while now and were delighted to receive a bundle of their new craft supplies to make some Valentine’s Day art. Every year we love to give handmade cards and we’ll be continuing this tradition this year thanks to Baker Ross. We used the Craft-it! foam sheets and Craft-it! large picture frames to create some unique hand print art. We’ll show you the steps we went through so you can make it too! Hand print…

    Yesterday I told you about some of the crafts we had been making with some lovely Christmas craft kits from Baker Ross. They make some great gingerbread products and I couldn’t resist buying more craft supplies for the children. Today Little Sis wanted to make something. Mornings are our time and after we had read books and played My Little Pony we were able to sit down and make something together. Much as I love to think about the things I want to make and take my time over them, my children are happy with quick and easy crafts. I…

    Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

    November 25, 2015 - By 

    Both my children enjoy crafting and as they get a little older they are able to craft independently of me. My 5 year old loves to craft and often asks me for a craft to do between getting home from school and dinner. He’s been steadily working his way through a pile of Christmas craft kits from Baker Ross and I’m going to share the end results with you. We love making sun catchers and my 3 and 5 year old enjoyed the Penguin Stained Glass Effect Hanging Decorations. I don’t think penguins are particularly Christmassy but the decorations were…
