    Easy Fortnite painted rocks for kids to make

    June 15, 2019 - By 

    My 9 year old is obsessed with Fortnite. I have to admit it’s not my favourite game that he plays but he’s allowed time to play if he does his homework. I think he would play i all day if he could so I make sure to have a few craft ideas to keep him busy away from the PS4. We’ve already had fun with our colourful Fortnite Slurp Juice Slime recipe. Today we wanted to share our Fortnite painted rocks, these were so much fun to decorate and hide. Supplies Bag of smooth pebbles or rocks (we like these –…

    Experimenting with fun STEM kits at home

    June 9, 2019 - By 

    Over the last few weeks we have been kept busy reviewing some of the wonderful STEM kits from Bandai. At the start of half term we were gifted some STEM kits which required a little time and patience, so we set them up and waited. We had never seen the Blue Crystal Growing Lab from National Geographic or The Original Sea Monkeys Ocean-Zoo kit so were excited to try them out at home.

    Half term crafting with Aquabeads Box of Fun – Safari

    June 6, 2019 - By 

    Half term was a little dramatic with Big Brother falling over and breaking his wrist. Accidents do happen but I felt so sorry for Little Sis who had to spend a lot of her half term sitting around in Hospital waiting rooms whilst her brother got patched up. I was so grateful that we were gifted the new Aquabeads Box of Fun set. Thankfully this arrived during half term and Little Sis had a lovely time crafting and making animals.

    After a great half term we are looking forward to the end of term and our summer holiday adventures. There’s no doubt this will be a long term with 7 weeks until the start of the summer holidays but it will be a good term. We’ve already started to think about our end of year teacher gifts as well as graduation gifts for my daughter who will be finishing at Infant School. We’ve been playing around with our Graduation Pretzel Rods and can’t wait to show you how to make them and celebrate graduation! Graduation Pretzel Rods basic ingredients: Pretzel…

    How to make Galaxy Painted Rocks

    May 31, 2019 - By 

    Have you tried making painted rocks with your children? They are so much fun to make and hide that it’s been a favourite craft of ours for the last few months. Being part of an active Facebook group definitely helps as people regularly post that they have found and re-hidden our painted rocks. We recently had fun decorating Galaxy Painted Rocks so I thought I would share how we made them. Supplies Bag of smooth pebbles or rocks (we like these – Amazon affiliate link) Black spray paint Blue, purple and white acrylic paint Varnish to seal the painted rocks (we…

    This year we wanted to make a craft to commemorate the Fourth of July. Independence Day is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4th, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject to the monarch of Britain and were now united, free, and independent states. We love a paper craft and thought kids would enjoy our simple Fourth of July paper banner craft.

    I thought it was time I posted an update on the painted rocks we’ve decorated and hidden recently. The two week Easter holidays gave us plenty of time to decorate rocks, and we were lucky to find a few too. It’s one of our favourite crafts because we always have the supplies close to hand. All you need to decorate rocks are some good quality pens and varnish to seal your design. Easy painted rocks for kids to make The Lego Movie 2 painted rocks My children both loved The Lego Movie 2.

    I can’t believe that we first watched The Secret Life of Pets in 2016. We were invited to a screening and my kids look so young in the photos I took! The film was a favourite of my daughter’s and she still wears the hat she was given 3 years later! She collected all The Secret Life of Pets Happy Meal toys which she still has too! The Secret Life of Pets  In the first film we met Max, a spoiled terrier who enjoyed a comfortable life in a New York building until his owner, Katie, adopted Duke, a giant…

    The weather has been amazing over the last few days here in the UK. We’ve been so lucky that it coincided with Good Friday and Easter Monday so we had an extra long weekend to enjoy it. We did a fair bit of travelling from our week in Devon via Wiltshire and back to London again. We never seem to be at home over Easter so our house felt a little empty  when we returned home. Fortunately we had been #gifted some craft supplies from Bostik including Micro Dots and Foam Pads. We used these supplies to make a simple…
