As we can’t get to a cinema at the moment my son has been busy reading a new Finding Dory book this week, so when I suggested making some Finding Dory ice pops to him he was super excited, even though we had to order in ice pop molds especially as ours got lost in the move! These fun ice pops are super simple to make and are almost healthy?! Ok, well they’re certainly not 100% but they do count towards one of your kids five a day and that’s no bad thing to me!

20 Quick Set Up Sensory Bin Ideas for Toddlers
My daughter loves playing with sensory bins and I enjoy her playing with them – they can keep her occupied for hours! I’m happy to admit that I can spend ages eyeing up gorgeous sensory bin ideas for toddlers on Pinterest but there’s one, ok two small issues with this. Firstly, I just don’t have the time to spend ages making intricate small world sensory bins because I have two small kids (and the aforementioned Pinterest addiction) and secondly, well, my toddler seriously couldn’t care less how long I’ve spend prepping something. She just wants to play and if it doesn’t take me half an hour to clean up then hey that’s much better for me. So with that in mind I’m today sharing 10 ideas that will only take you a few minutes to prep.

Olympics Activity Ideas: Fine Motor Skills Fun
It’s not long now until the Olympics starts in Rio so I’ve been thinking up some fun Olympics activity ideas for my kids. I originally planned this for my daughter who is at preschool but my son (5) had a day off school and when he saw this he really wanted to get involved too! It actually turned out to be a great activity for him too and we got to discuss a few things and he learnt a bit both about the Olympics and his mum too!
A Cute and Cheap Butterfly Craft for Preschoolers
This preschool butterfly craft is perfect for little ones and allows them to create something really pretty themselves without too much adult intervention – as a mum I love to see what my child has made in preschool but I can normally tell straight away if someone else has done something for her!
I really love to see crafts for toddlers that they have led on themselves. That said I also love to be able to put her art up on the wall…but I still want it to look nice!
This cute craft ticks both boxes and if you’re doing this with older kids (my daughter is two) then I’ll be sharing a few ideas on how you can change this up to suit them too.
