    Making mud cakes in our mud kitchen

    April 15, 2015 - By 

    We seem to be experiencing a mini-heatwave in the UK today which meant we have spent most of the day outdoors. My 3 year old loves playing fairies so we thought we would add to our fairy garden. So far we’ve built a fairy house in the garden, made a painted stone fairy door for a fairy house and painted pebble animals to live in the fairy garden. Today we had some messy sensory fun, making proper mud cakes for the fairies, in our tuff spot mud kitchen. Setting up a tuff spot mud kitchen It was really easy to…

    April 3, 2015 - By 

    Our Easter decorations have been looking a little sparse this year.

I didn’t come up with myself, I found the idea on Pinterest here and made my own version. How to make an Easter kinder surprise wreath It’s super easy and all you need to make the wreath is 14 empty Kinder surprise egg shells. Then comes the fun part, take the lid of one and the base of another and pop them together. Simple! Then connect…

    I have a large Duck Tape collection which I love to both look at and use.

I like to actually use them for crafting and yesterday made some fun Easter decorations – Duck Tape Easter Eggs. They are pretty simple to make but worth sharing.

    Play dough hot cross buns

    March 19, 2015 - By 

    Home made play dough is so easy to make and I like the fact I know exactly what’s in it. The other day I made some play dough for my children so they could make some play dough Hot Cross buns. Hot Cross buns are a traditional Easter treat (although they seem to be available in the shops earlier each year!). They are a spiced sweet bun made with currants and marked with a cross on the top. Recipe for home made play dough: 150g plain flour 100g salt 2 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 180ml water…

    Tape resist art for kids

    January 28, 2015 - By 

    We love crafting with tape. We have a huge bowl of colourful tape and have made some fun things such as a washi tape egg decorations, washi tape picture frames and Duck Tape bracelets. We’ve even made our own washi tape. Today we thought we’d use tape in a completely different and sensory way – masking tape resist art. Paintings and drawings have positive and negative spaces, the positive is where you have added the colour, the negative spaces are plain. We thought we would use the tape to create some interesting art and my children had great fun. Materials:…
