I adore Christmas lanterns, their soft glow cheers up the room on a darkened evening or they look lovely in a windowsill making your home look even more inviting as you get closer. But a toddler friendly Christmas lantern? My four year old son and I made traditional glass lanterns last week and my toddler joined in but….oh man she just hates the feel of glue. Really hates that stuff, and you could tell she really wanted to craft with us and she gave it a good shot but it just wasn’t the greatest thing for her. We love making crafts for toddlers though so once we’d put away all the totally non-toddler friendly stuff I started thinking about how we could make this classic Christmas craft into something she could do too and this is what I came up with!

10 Snow Globe Crafts for Kids
Snow globes are a classic winter or Christmas craft for kids, but rather embarrassingly until last week I had no idea how to make them! A friend asked me for advice, thinking that as I write about kids crafts I might actually know a thing or two about that kind of thing but uhhh. No. I had to ask my friend Mr Pinterest for help. There are loads of cool snow globes that kids can make, from ones in glass jars, to finger print snow globes, melting snow globes for the bath and paper plate snow globes. So if you fancy making some snow globe crafts for kids this year then you’re in the right place to find all the ideas you could possibly need!

How to make Ghosthunters Inspired Spooky Biscuits
With half term and the clock change over the weekend I ended up spending today stuck indoors with two kids, one of which had so little sleep last night that he could barely manage to play.
