I’m so excited that we have a whole new year laid in front of us. There are so many fun days coming up which equals crafting opportunities! First of all we have Chinese New Year Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year, the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional…
It’s been a while since we had fun with a paper plate craft but with Chinese New Year coming up next month I thought it would be a good time to try something new. Did you know that 2016 is the Year of the Monkey? I have my own two little monkeys and we’d never…
We’ve had a lot of fun with the theme of Chinese New Year over the last few weeks. We love exploring other cultures and I find there’s usually a learning opportunity for the whole family! This year Chinese New Year falls on Thursday 19th of February and we’ve made some really fun crafts, such as…
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I reviewed a Weekend Box. Andy, the guy behind the brilliant Weekend Box got in touch to ask if we wanted to review another one. In case you need reminding, a Weekend Box is a fun-filled activity box subscription for little ones aged 3-6, delivered right to…

I have to admit that we don’t celebrate Chinese New Year but that doesn’t stop us having fun with crafting around the theme. We’ve already made a Chinese lantern sun catcher but did you know that 2015 is the Year of the Sheep? We thought we’d make a sheep sun catcher. Our windows are full…

Before I bombard you with Valentine crafts (and there’s a lot!) I wanted to share one last Chinese New Year craft. 2014 is the Chinese New Year of the Horse and although Chinese New Year is celebrated on Friday January 31st, celebrations will take place on Sunday 2nd February across venues including Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Shaftesbury…
It feels like the New Year has brought lots of crafting opportunities with it and the toddler and I have been busy. Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 10th, so we’ve made some fabric fortune cookies that look good enough to eat. They were really quick to make, so perfect for a cold…
