Put those colouring pencils down! Today you’ll colour with nature instead! I’ve been wanting to use more natural products in our play and activities at home and decided to start slowly by providing an animal template for the girls to use as a guide for our colour with nature project. It’s a simple activity that [...]
The recycled toilet rolls in our craft bin had been piling up since the twins started toilet training and if I didn’t do something soon, we would be overrun, swimming in a playroom of faintly ocean fresh-scented cardboard rolls. What’s worse is that my mum started to collect hers for me too. What could I do [...]
Although we started our Easter crafts with a life-sized bird nest for the girls, we haven’t done anything else to celebrate this festive season. In fact I’ve been so busy with birthday parties, dance rehearsals and planning to move house that I didn’t realize until yesterday that it was Easter this weekend. Opps! Luckily, I had a lovely little egg hunting activity [...]
Does your child love to draw animals? Have you encouraged your child to draw from an animal image? Wildlife art isn’t just great fun but by taking the time to analyse a wildlife image first, you can learn a lot about the animals in it before you even put pencil to paper! Miss Possum loves to draw her usual subjects of animals, plants and [...]
Easter is creeping up on us and I’m already noticing bunny, egg and chick crafts all over Pinterest. It’s getting me in the mood to create something special with the girls and I’ve wanted to make something that would encourage more play at home. Making a life-sized nest meant that we could get crafty, which would give those itchy fingers something [...]
Terrariums come in all shapes and sizes, some are made using small jars and filled with beautiful rainforest plants, and others are large, spacious and include real animals like frogs and reptiles. You may not be able to afford a large set up with animals but you can make a fun little wildlife themed terrarium [...]
There’s a wonderful group I’m honoured to be a part of, the Aussie Kid Blogger Network (AKBN), and they’ve started an initiative to encourage play for all children. As a group, we believe #playmatters and you can join in the fun by finding our #playmatters community on Pinterest. Have something play orientated to share on social media? Why not add hashtag playmatters and join [...]
I’ve had on my To Do list for quite a while and since my girls have been rather interested in dress ups lately, it was the perfect time to try it out. These animal feet surpassed my expectations and the girls adore them. We’re also giving a pair as a gift to a special, little friend. How [...]
We’ve all seen grass heads before but have you ever made an animal grass head? With only a little bit more effort than a regular grass head, the results are so worth it! Last year, I became familiar with my sewing machine by making some animal bean bags and continued that friendship by making these wildlife grass [...]
On Tuesday I asked you to add a little fun to your food. Now I’m encouraging you to add a little drama to your drinks with this Animal Straw printable. I wanted to make drinking water more fun for my children (and yours), but there’s a catch. I don’t like plastic straws and I don’t encourage you to [...]
