DIY Duck Tape ice lolly tags

Posted on August 9, 2018 by jenny

As we’ll soon be going on holiday I wanted to craft some colourful tags to make our suitcases easily identifiable. A few years ago we made some colourful Duck Tape passport covers so I couldn’t wait to craft with Duck Tape again. Duck Tape is a great craft material as it’s so durable and perfect…

Last month we reviewed the fabulous How to make your own Squishies & Slime magbook. It’s a brilliant book for crafty kids with over 50 DIY projects to squish, squash, smoosh and stretch.

Posted on July 5, 2018December 3, 2018 by jenny

There’s nothing better than a homemade treat. Both my children enjoy baking but I admit we don’t do it nearly often enough. We love crafting after school and were overjoyed to be sent a Mini Bakers Box from BKD to try at home. My children love subscription boxes and we’ve tried a lot of crafty…

Posted on June 29, 2018March 23, 2020 by jenny

During half term we went rock pooling at the beach. This is something I did as a child and something my children now enjoy. It is so easy as you don’t really need anything, just a rocky beach with the tide out! When we were in Devon we visited a lovely beach where we watched…

World Cup mini flags activity for kids

Posted on May 30, 2018 by jenny

There are so many sporting events coming up that I wanted to try making some mini flags with the children. We’re not huge sport fans but it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement of the World Cup, Wimbledon or the Tour de France. We have been talking about flags and recently had…
