30+ Fun Activities for Three Year Olds

by | 3 Comments

I can’t believe that I’m already writing this round up of activities for three years olds – for the last three years I’ve used my daughters birthday as a way to round up the best activities that we did together over the year and it always seems to come around so quickly. This year we’ve introduced more simple literacy and numeracy activity but there’s still lots of crafts, sensory play and most importantly fun. If you’ve got any activities your kids enjoy leave them in the comments section and let’s make sure none of us ever hear ‘I’m bored’ again!

The Snail and the Whale Crafts: Movable Paper Plate

by | 3 Comments

Last year at school my son studied The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and I remember thinking at the time that there weren’t that many The Snail and the Whale crafts about so after making our movable paper plate ghost last week I thought it would be fun to try and make a little craft of the two friends off on their adventure around the world!

Easy Zombie Craft for Kids

by | 3 Comments

Since I told my son I had an idea for an easy zombie craft for kids he wouldn’t stop asking me when we could make it, I did have to point out a few times that sensible things like school and mealtimes do get in the way of crafting sometimes! Both my son who is 6 and my daughter who has just turned 4 had fun making their own zombies with only a little bit of help with the cutting. Of course I had to make one myself because there is no one in this house that’s rocking the mombie look better than I am (when are the kids meant to start sleeping through?!) so mine has the obligatory mum Breton top on and brown hair. Not sure if the kids got the hint though?!  This is a really easy Halloween craft that’s fun to make and requires only the basics including a quick rumble through your recycling bin.

I’m not sure if ghost crafts for kids are supposed to be sweet or spooky but I tend to err on the side of sweet – after all no parent wants to add their kid having nightmares to the ever growing list of why they didn’t get a full nights sleep. With Halloween around the corner these are the most fun ghost crafts for kids I’ve seen this year and I’m sure your children will love them too!
