DIY Picture Frames for Kids Art

Updated on 13th January 2022 by Kate Williams |

Advert. Struggling to find a home for all your kids art work? I hear you.

Between the things my kids make at school and all the drawing they do at home we seem to have a never ending stack of pieces of paper that deserve a home but I’m never quite sure where!

I’ve been working with Scotch trying out their Wall-Safe Tape and we decided to make some easy picture frames for kids art that we could then use to display our pictures.

Scotch Wall-Safe Tape means that we can put these on our walls for up to 30 days without any worries and the kids loved creating these frames to display their masterpieces.

Free Fathers Day Printable Card to Colour

Updated on 29th June 2021 by Kate Williams |

Expensive gifts are all very nice but round our house we’re great believers that the best presents are ones that come from the heart and as most kids don’t exactly have a ton of cash to spend handmade cards and gifts are some of the nicest things that you could hope to receive for Fathers Day.

Today I’m sharing this simple Fathers Day card that your kids can colour in and draw a picture of their dad in. I’ve also done a version for step-dads as my parents are divorced and over the years I’ve found it really hard to find cards for step-parents who do an outstanding job too!…

Narwhal and Jelly: Paper Plate Crafts

Updated on 27th June 2025 by Kate Williams |

Advert. I’m so excited to share with you these super cute crafts to celebrate the publication of the new Narwhal and Jelly series by Ben Clanton!

These books are perfect for kids – I know this because when I went to photograph them my two had hidden them in their ‘special place for books they don’t want touching’ and they’ve spent the weekend giggling along to Narwhal and Jelly’s adventures in the ocean complete with jokes, facts and a lot about waffles!

These Narwhal and Jelly paper plate crafts are super easy to make so after your kids have had fun reading the books they’ll be able to have lots of fun making their own super duo.

Pom Pom Printed Moon Craft

Updated on 11th July 2025 by Kate Williams |

I love how the printing technique in this moon craft makes it look like little craters all over the moons surface! This moon craft is really easy to set up and not too messy either (well, for painting anyway!)

It’s perfect for toddlers and preschoolers as well as reception age or even older kids who you just want a nice, simple space themed craft for – I’ve also added some ideas below on how you could adapt it for different ages so if you have more than one kid at home who you want to craft with it’s a good one for keeping them both entertained.

What The Ladybird Heard Wanted Poster

Updated on 29th June 2021 by Kate Williams |

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!
