Are you celebrating the Royal Wedding on Saturday? If so, how? I really wish it was taking place during the week so we could all have an extra day off! However both children are doing something special at school. My Year 3 boy was having a Royal tea party at school today, and my Year…
Crafts for kids
Celebrating National Sandwich Week {Num Noms inspired bento lunch}
Did you know that National Sandwich Week is celebrated between May 20th and May 26th? We were challenged to celebrate it with Num Noms, those cute little scented food-related collectibles. My daughter loves to collect them so it was pretty easy to ask her to help create a lunch around her favourites. Celebrating National Sandwich Week…
Royal Wedding craft stick union flag craft
We’re looking forward to the Royal Wedding next week.

Tissue paper unicorn horn craft
I’m sure it can’t have escaped your attention that everyone is obsessed with unicorns. I admit that we love unicorns too, I’ve even been drinking out of a unicorn mug for the last few months.

A few weeks ago we were challenged to make Aquabeads crafts for the home. You may remember that we made Easter themed Aquabead Easter Egg bookmarks as a quick and easy Easter craft. Our Aquabeads are almost permanently out. They are a fun activity that my children can do independently and they make the perfect…
7 crafts to celebrate Han Solo {A Star Wars Story}
Solo: A Star Wars Story is released on the 25th May in the UK. We’ve already seen the trailer and can’t wait to watch the film. Secretly we’re hoping it’s better than The Last Jedi which seems to have killed off my son’s love of Star Wars! The idea behind Solo: A Star Wars Story…
Baking with kids – easy gingerbread crowns
If you live in the UK it can’t have escaped your notice that we have a new addition to the Royal family – Prince Louis. My children have been talking about this so I thought we could bake some simple gingerbread crowns to celebrate the royal birth. With the Royal Wedding coming up next month, as…
