This sun craft for preschoolers is just so sweet it’s guaranteed to put a smile on anyones face! I love sharing crafts for toddlers so I originally planned as an activity for my two year old but as soon as my five year old son saw the cute paper plate sun he wanted to join in too. While for very young kids this is quite a simple activity that allows some learning with colours, there are loads of ways that this can be expanded upon for older kids as I’ll explain below.

This simple button flower craft is great for fine motor skills and is a fun flower craft that’s perfect for spring or summer. While making this with my kids we had a good chat about colours and shapes too so it’s got lots off educational benefits as well as looking good too!
Cardboard
Glue
Scissors
Buttons
These button flowers are really easy both to make as as a quick craft to set up for your children.
Start by cutting a flower shape out of card, card is much better than paper for this craft because it’s able to hold the weight of the glue and buttons a bit better, you don’t want your flower falling apart! Don’t fancy drawing the flower shape yourself? No problem, just grab our free flower template to use with this craft.
If you’d like to add a centre to your flower do so now so using a different coloured card. It’s best to add this before you add the buttons so that you don’t run out of room.
Spread some glue onto the petals of the flower and you can now add your buttons, PVA glue (school glue) works best for this as the heavy weight of the buttons means you’ll need something stronger than a glue stick.

Like all sensible parents I try and use what materials we have lying around to keep the kids entertained so when we had some wine delivered in bubble wrap this week I knew we were onto a winner! We love thinking up activities and crafts for toddlers so after spending some time stomping on the bubble wrap to see if we could burst it (we couldn’t) we carted it outside with our craft supplies to make this sweet bubble wrap alien craft for kids.

Recently I’ve had to hide the lego away from my kids. Not because I’m a mean mum (well, maybe) but with selling our home my daughter seemed to have some kind of sixth sense for when the place would need to be tidy for viewings or surveyors and would head straight to the lego box. Boom – maximum impact. This lego ice play idea was great for us because it allowed her to play with the lego all in one place and – bonus – got it cleaned up ready to pack. The ingenious little tool I used to make the lego ice was pretty cheap too and it great for perking up kids drinks on hot days!
