This week on the Crafts on Sea Facebook page has all been about A Squash and a Squeeze crafts and activities. Julia Donaldson’s book is a lovely story for kids about appreciating what you have and is a massive favourite in our house, telling off the cow for dancing a jig is part of our bedtime routine! Today I’m sharing the A Squash and a Squeeze crafts which I shared as well as a few extra which I thought you might like!
“My house is a squash and a squeeze!”
I love these paper bag houses from Kids Activities Blog.
