Today I thought I’d share with you one of the crafts from my book 30 Halloween Crafts for Kids. I love this little spooky forest because it uses upcycled materials which helps keep the cost down, and it’s great for helping your kids with scissor skills and fine motor skills but even better at the end of their crafting they have something that they can actually play with – and anything that keeps your kids busy, happy and helps encourage them to use their imagination has got to be a good thing, right?

I’m happy to admit that I’ve totally c+p’d the text below from my book, not just because I’m writing this while inhaling caffeine before I get the kids ready for school and nursery, but because I wanted to share with you how I’ve set it out and how easy it is for you guys to follow and do some fun kids Halloween crafts this year -hope you like it!

Apple Themed Writing Tray

Updated on by | Leave a Comment

With back to school and preschool looming on the horizon for us I decided to try out this apple themed writing tray with both my kids. It’s surprisingly easy to set up and can be used both for activities for toddlers and school aged children to practice mark making, letter formation and writing words which means that it can easily be used with both of my kids. I’m also sharing how to dye sand should you wish to do that too!

Popcorn Autumn Tree Craft

Updated on by | 3 Comments

I always find summer a bit of a tricky time for crafting as both me and the kids just want to go out and enjoy the most of the sunshine but with the start of the autumn months we all seem to settle down and start to want to do some more crafting again and what could be more right for this time of the year than a little autumn tree craft? This craft is good on a number of levels – it’s an excuse to make some popcorn (totally winning), your kids get to paint and create with an unusual crafting product and you can talk about colours and the seasons. Oh, and the popcorn, make sure you make too much, yeah?!
