This post was sponsored by Duracell Ultra Batteries. With all the hype around the new Star Wars movie, my kids have been eyeing off the lightsabers in the shops for a while now. But I’m a party pooper, so I said no to buying an expensive, noisy, plastic lightsaber. Of course when my eight year […]
Designing Robots – a simple STEAM activity.
This post is sponsored by Moose Toys. The older my kids get, the more they enjoy making things. While they still love doing art just for the sake of experimenting and creating, they also love to make plans and work on inventing and creating a finished product. This kind of STEM or STEAM activity (science, […]
Easy Leaf Printing
I’m all about the easy art project. Every now and then we go all out and do some kind of spectacular, messy, or fancy art activity, but mostly I’m for quick to set up, easy to do, low mess activities. If it takes more than five minutes to organise or requires some fancy item we […]

No, my house is not full of venomous spiders, or man-eating cockroaches, it’s full of kids who are obsessed with paper planes! Every where I look there are paper planes – piles […]
BIG Bubble Wrap Painting.
It’s Sunday afternoon – I have four kids who all want to kill each other, and a massive role of bubble wrap. How can I combine these things into something good? Painting and printing with bubble wrap is loads of fun, but I needed more than just ‘fun’. To change the mood from cranky, to […]
DIY Train Track Scenery
My eight year old has taken to browsing my pinterest boards looking for cool things to do! One Sunday afternoon he came across these very cool train tracks from Pepeto and his eyes lit up! “Can we make these for our train tracks?” he asked enthusiastically.
