Easy kids’ craft ideas for preschoolers through to tweens. We share art projects, printables, seasonal fun, simple sewing ideas and more.
I have a four year old who just LOVES messy play – and this jelly activity (or jello if you live in America) was no exception. It’s the second time we’ve done this, the first time I ran out of gelatine halfway through creating the colours so half of them were very thin (pretty much liquid)…
One blog I have loved to follow since I first discovered it last year is Moments A Day. Chelsea focuses on building character through everyday family life. I don’t find this easy with my kids and need all the help I can get, so when I was offered the chance to review her ebook…
My kids are growing up and becoming more and more independent. Miss R is already at big school five days a week and that leaves me and Miss K at home together on the days she’s not at pre-school. It’s lovely to spend some mother-daughter time with her because as the little sister she’s always…

OK, let me check the calendar – yep, it’s just as I thought, only six weeks left until Christmas. Let me repeat, only SIX WEEKS to get all of your Christmas shopping, crafting, planning, and cooking done before the big day. That’s not really very long when you’re a mum with 101 other things on…
