Since the round up of farm animal crafts for preschoolers that I shared the other week I’ve become a little obsessed with animal crafts as they’re so easy for kids to make and they look really cool. My kids decided that they fancied giving something new a go so we came up with this cute yogurt pot sheep craft, they’re currently in our dining room as part of our Easter decorations but they’re fun to make at any time of the year.

I love sensory play ideas for kids, actually my kids adore sensory play but I’m never going to be the mum that plonks her kids down in a bowl of baked beans in the name of messy play. Nope, never. I’ve shared a mess free autumn tree craft before and today I thought I’d update it with an Earth Day theme. It’s the perfect way for smaller kids to have some sensory fun without you having to panic about all the tidying involved.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has to be one of the most classic kids book ever and I’ve yet to find a kid that doesn’t love it!
It’s also a book that’s really popular with parents, schools and preschools following the EYFS – I know that both my kids have ‘studied’ it at different times (does a three year old study a book? Maybe explored would be a better word?!) but it’s also one that’s fun to do some simple activities for at home too.
These The Very Hungry Caterpillar activities are all fun, cute and perfect for kids – which one is your favourite?

With Earth Hour this weekend and Earth Day coming up I thought it would be fun to do a little Earth themed craft with my daughter and these Earth suncatchers are what we came up with!
At three years old we haven’t been massively studying the solar system but she listens along quite happily when I read about it with her brother and has spotted planets from our back garden before, besides it’s never too early to start teaching kids about our planet and how important looking after it is!
