After an absence from here due to tummy bugs, I’m back! It’s been a busy old couple of days. The tree and decorations finally went up yesterday and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! So for today’s craft, I’m featuring a very cute nativity scene. We actually sat and made this today and [...]

Whilst I was cutting the toilet roll into 5 for the Olympic Rings, I was reminded of a project that I’ve seen on Pinterest. The kids arranged the “rings” slightly differently and made flowers and it just shows how easy it is to do this project. The rings could be painted to give it that [...]

We are continuing the theme of the Olympics and have been learning all about the history of the Games and the countries that are taking part. They’ve made a booklet of all the facts they found, word searches and colouring pages they did and they also each picked an athlete to research. We’ve been doing [...]

After making “our recycled rag rug” we still had quite a lot of leftover material and whilst another rug would be useful, we decided to look [...]

One area of craft that can be fun to do for adults and kids alike, is recycled craft. I hate to throw things away and know that they will more than likely end up in a landfill (something I learned at an old j.o.b i once had). Using discarded materials will not only save you [...]

We recently had a big clear out and ended up with a HUGE bag of clothes. Some of them, we cut up into rag clothes to wipe out our wok and use for dusting, but we still had loads left. On a Pinterest browsing sessions, something I just love doing, I came across an idea to [...]
