This mess free colour mixing pumpkin activity is perfect for kids and for parents. Why? Well it’s great for kids because it’s fun to play with and it helps teach about making colours and mark making and it’s great for parents because it’s mess free! This mess free pumpkin is similar to the mess free autumn tree we made last year so if you like mess free activities for kids it’s worth checking that one out too!

Last week I was set the challenge of coming up with an autumn craft that kids could do while on holiday and after a couple of attempts I’ve come up with this autumn tree craft that requires no paint or glue! Having spent quite a few holidays in cottages with my own kids I know what it’s like to try and have a bit of quiet time with them while also being mindful that you want to keep your holiday home nice. My four year old made this craft alongside me so she’s been my tester on the mess front for it!

With the summer holidays now upon us I thought it would be a good idea to share some ideas of things to do with your preschooler for free.

It’s carnage!) Having two kids myself – one preschooler and one school age I’m sure that most of these activities are suitable for older kids too and there’s enough suggestions that you should be able to find a few ideas no matter what the age of your kids or what they are into.

We often seem to get leftover balloons from parties or whatever so getting a second use out them as with this balloon printed apple craft is a great idea. It’s a great activity for preschoolers or even toddlers too as it doesn’t require much in the way of skill and using a balloon to print with is a fun alternative to a normal paintbrush.
