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...

Inspired by our earlier paper plate spider web craft, this laced paper plate pumpkin is a real cutie. We love these lacing crafts, they're so relaxed and often we make ours whilst lounging out on the sofas. My little guy particularly likes them as they give him a lot...
Were back again with another Halloween craft and I must admit that I absolutely love this paper plate spider web. We sat and made ours whilst we were watching one of my sons favourite movies and it was just such a fun craft to relax with and to make slowly. We can't...
