When things are going to hell in a hand basket, or when you just have a little snip of time between one thing and another, or when you just need everyone to stop running around the house and leaping off the couches… that’s when you need a 30 Minute Challenge! It’s a new game I’ve […]
Wordless Wednesday – Cut, Paste, Repeat.
Give them a pile of magazines, some scissors and a glue stick and they’re happy for hours. Give the baby a magazine to eat and he’s happy to join them for at least five minutes. Join in with (almost) Wordless Wednesday at My Little Drummer Boys. Trish will forgive you if you can’t be totally […]
Wood Constructions With Hot Glue
When I saw this fabulous activity at Filth Wizardry (and while you’re there check out their gorgeous new baby girl!!) I really wanted to try it with my kids over the holidays. When I went to the craft shop to buy icy-pole sticks I was blown away by how expensive they were, considering how many […]
Tree House Doll’s House.

Easy Art for Kids – Make a Lantern
I really wanted to make autumn leaf lanterns like these, but by the time we got around to trying this out we found our big bag of autumn leaves had dried out and just crumbled when we tried to wrap them around the jar. With three disappointed kids I had to think fast. We already […]
Say Yes to Painting – Dot Paints.
Our big kids all got fabulous water colour paint sets for Christmas which makes saying yes to painting so much more doable. With that same idea in mind I recently picked up a set of ‘dot paint markers’. The set of six dot markers are super easy to use, don’t make much mess and are […]
Treasure Hunt!
Last weekend, desperate to get some peace and quiet so that the baby could sleep, I enticed my big kids outside by sending them on a treasure hunt! All it took was a list of items to hunt for, and a basket to put the treasures in and they were off, outside, leaving the baby […]
