I’ve been looking for a way for my kids to play with melted crayons for a while now. The idea of sitting for hours with a hair dryer watching crayons melt didn’t thrill me, so we tried something a little different. We used an electric fry pan on a low setting and had loads of […]
Our Ten Favourite Easy Painting Activities
My kids love to paint. Come to think of it I quite like to paint too, which is probably the real reason we do it so often. While I like to paint I don’t like to spend ages setting up or cleaning up fancy activities. My goal is for it to be fun and easy, […]
Design Your Own Printable Masks
We are living in that limbo land with a kid who is too sick for school, but not sick enough to just lay around on the couch and do nothing… Time for a quiet activity to fill in the hours till her sister gets home, designing our own printable masks! Izzy came up with the […]
Cutting Practice – Making Snowflakes and Sunbursts.
My big boy has had an attack of the ‘can’ts’ lately. If he can’t do something perfectly, first time, then he ‘can’t do it’ at all and often storms off or chucks a wobbly, no matter what anyone does or says. Controlling scissors has been one of his biggest ‘can’ts’. He sees the girls cutting […]

It’s been about a year since we first painted on foil here at the Pickle Farm and the big kids request this activity over and over they love it so much. But sometimes painting is just too much… not to mention the fact that we have no space to dry the copious amounts of paintings […]
Mono Printing Using Tiles
Sometimes it’s good to live on a building site. (Yes I am trying hard to find the positives in these never ending renovations) It’s good because there are lots of interesting bits and pieces lying around to play with! To escape the frustration of on-again, off-again rain on the weekend I stole a couple of […]
Read Read Read – Free Printable Bookmarks
It’s ‘book week’ in Australia this week, and while I am forever grateful that our school doesn’t do a ‘dress-up like your favorite book character parade’ (thank goodness I don’t have to create a mouse costume and an elf troll costume!) it is a nice little reminder about how magical books and reading are. I […]
