I love sitting down with a festive movie and wrapping up the Christmas presents, Unfortunately I'm not very good at it. I always end up with random pieces left over here and there and no idea what to do with them. It makes me think of my late great gran who every year...
Winter is well on it's way and the weather is certainly getting colder. The last couple of nights I've found myself waking up to put the heating on and wearing a pair of socks to bed! Some parts of the UK have even seen snow over the last few days. I do love snow, it...
This cute little shape snowman is another one that we came up with to suit both of my little ones. my son really enjoyed using the scissors to cut out his shapes and my little girl loved gluing down the shapes that i had cut out for her to build her snowman! As an...
After the success of our gorgeous little paper roll elves we wanted to follow up with another paper roll craft and who better than the big guy himself! Today marks the first day of opening the advent calendars and for my kids the countdown to Christmas has now...
With my children being 4 and 1 the difference in their crafting abilities is pretty wide. For example my eldest has mastered using scissors now but the idea of my little girl anywhere near a pair of scissors makes me very, very nervous! Though as they have got older...
When it comes to Christmas movies the fist one we usually watch as a family is home alone, the kids think it's hilarious and we think it's hilarious listening to them laughing at it! For me though I think the most cosy and nostalgic film to cuddle up with at Christmas...
After making our polymer clay lollipops I thought that I would upload these simple pipe cleaner lollipop ornaments too. Clay is fab and great for crafting but it's something that until recently we never really kept in the house, plus it can be quite expensive if you...
Don't you just love this little toilet roll Christmas elf craft? I know that we certainly love these little guys and so did our family when we sent them some pictures! Infact, they've even asked my little one if he'll make some more to send to them. My son and i had...
I absolutely love these little photo frame ornaments! We've ordered some prints to go in them but they haven't arrived yet, Still they're all ready to go and we just couldn't wait to share them with you. My favourite part about these is how each one is so unique, my...
These festive little fingerprint Christmas trees are probably my favourite design for this little craft. They make such sweet little keepsakes and my little ones have each made one to sit either side of the TV in our front room. We love handmade Christmas decorations...
I originally posted these cute button Christmas trees a couple of years ago as one of my first ever crafts but I decided it was time to revisit them and give the post a little freshen up! My little guy has made several of these today in so many different styles and he...
After our last post we've had some really lovely emails from people telling us all about their family's thanksgiving traditions. Many seem to revolve around family recipes, crafts and binge watching TV and it sounds like such a fabulous family and friends filled day!...
Today my son and i have been chatting about thanksgiving. Living over in the UK we don't celebrate Thanksgiving but we do have American friends who talk about it all the time, it just sounds like such a lovely tradition and a great way to spend time with family. Of...
This sweet and easy little CD penguin craft is so simple to make and a great way to recycle old cds or dvds. We've got ours hung up in the window so that it reflects the light and It looks so cute as it twirls around. My little boy really loves making any kind of...
With lockdown #2 well under way we've been busy trying to find plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained and with the festive season right around the corner we've started to focus on some fun Christmas activities. Seeing as we have so much extra time on...
When is it considered acceptable to put up the Christmas decorations? With everything that's been going on this year with covid and for us personally with loved ones being unwell, it just feels as if it's about time the kids had something nice. Obviously we have no...
Eek! I can't believe that Halloween is only two weeks away! with everything that's been going on, this year seems to have passed us by twice as fast as usual. We won't be able to go to any parties this year or out trick or treating but we're still planning to make the...
I really can't believe how fast Christmas is rolling around this year, it seems as if the last one has only just been and gone. I think we're all expecting this one to be a bit different from the normal with everything that's going on in the world right now. Our...
Following my last post with the popsicle stick bumble bees I wanted to share these cute little popsicle stick dragonflies with you all. They're really similar to the bees and just as simple to make. Dragonflies are so beautiful, we see some really lovely brightly...
How adorable are these little popsicle stick bumble bees? over the last couple of weeks my little guy has been learning about patterns at school and has since been making patterns with almost everything he finds. This afternoon he came home from school and emptied out...
