Pumpkin crafts are great for getting creative with kids, you can use them for seasonal activities and they can be a great way to teach about colour mixing too.

Like most parents I try to get my kids outside as much as possible but it’s not exactly easy! This printable outdoor scavenger hunt made it so much more enjoyable though and kept both my kids busy for ages.
The free PDF comes in both UK and US English spellings for a garden or backyard scavenger hunt so your kids can enjoy it no matter where you’re based.
We’ve shared a lot of scavenger hunt ideas on this blog because they’re a great way to keep your kids busy no matter the occasion. They’re always popular with my children and I hope they will be with yours too.

No matter what the season is our feathered friends could normally do with a bit of a hand so easy bird feeders that kids can make are a great idea as it both keeps the kids busy for a while and attracts more birds to your yard which is a win-win situation as far as I’m concerned!
There are so many different ways to create a DIY bird feeder with kids and they really are child friendly.
With step by step instructions for crafts including pine cones, cookie cutters and toilet paper rolls you might find that you have most of the materials you already need to get creative. Just make sure you have some birdseed too!

Making (and playing with!) frozen flowers is probably one of our most popular sensory play ideas ever and it’s easy to see why – they just look so pretty!
I’m a great believer that if you want kids to do something then you have to make it interesting and inviting for them and these frozen flowers in ice are so pretty that I’m always quite tempted to have a play with them myself.
Actually I enjoy getting this activity prepped in advance too which isn’t something that I’ll say about everything!
