I think it’s fair to say that Julia Donaldson is one of my kids favourite authors and I know that the same can be said of an awful lot of other children too. What The Ladybird Heard is one of our favourite stories (as well as the two sequels) and these What The Ladybird Hears activities and crafts are great either as extension activities for the books or just as a simple way to keep your child entertained and having fun….
Activities for Children's Books
What The Ladybird Heard Wanted Poster
I’ve shared a couple of What The Ladybird Heard activities previously and I thought it would be fun to make a little printable that you could use with your children too drawing in the characters for the posters. I’ve made a few different version of this What The Ladybird Heard wanted poster so that you can choose the one that suits you best – or use it for a different activity entirely!…
Supertato Craft: Paper Plate Evil Pea
We’ve shared quite a few Supertato activities before and in all honesty I love seeing how popular they are because it’s one of my kids favourite books and it’s one of my favourites too.

How Winston Delivered Christmas is no ordinary Christmas book though, it’s a book that will help you build new family traditions and keep your kids entertained for all of December in the run up to Christmas.

Cyril and Pat Craft
Ever had a friend people didn’t approve of? I’m so excited to be working with Two Hoots to share a craft with you today for Cyril and Pat, the gorgeous new book from CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal winner Emily Gravett. My kids have asked me to read this story again and again since we received it, and they made their own versions of this craft too – a fun Cyril and Pat rat and squirrel toilet roll craft.
