I am not even remotely ashamed to admit that I am a bit of a washi addict. It’s so pretty!! A few weeks ago my friend Gude from Hodge Podge Craft opened her new online shop The Paperdashery which sells all sorts of gorgeous things for creating beautiful Happy Mail. She asked if I’d like to review a few bits and I jumped at the chance. Unfortunatly at this point my beloved son saw what I was looking at and got excited about getting some washi tape himself. Foiled! Still, as I’m keen to introduce my kids into the world of washi I thought it would be nice to try out some washi tape cards that kids can make and as I’ve spent far too long looking at pretty things myself I thought I’d also share some fabulous ideas that I found from other bloggers too.

Button Pumpkin Craft and Fall Activities for Toddlers
Now that my son has started school I’m on the look out for more crafts for toddlers that I can do with my daughter. This button pumpkin craft is a fun activity that can be used to celebrate fall or Halloween and is great for promoting fine motor skills.
Apple Crafts for Kids
Can I officially do my Autumn dance yet? I’m no fan of the colder weather but I love the excuse for big cardigans, wrapping up warm and watching the leaves change colour. One of our favourite things to do as a family in autumn is to go to a local fruit farm and pick apples. I like to use this as an excuse to do some crafting with my children afterwards so I thought I’d put together this little round up of some of my favourite apple crafts for kids, I hope you like them too!
Paper Plate Fox
Yesterday I shared the cute paper plate badger that I made this week with my daughter and today it’s the turn for this sweet paper plate fox! Both my children made these paper plate crafts but my son decided to use his for a bit of scissor practice before I managed to get the camera out. Never mind, one of the nice things about paper plate crafts is that they are so cheap to do and with a craft this cute I don’t mind doing it again next week!
Paper Plate Badger
Today has been yet another rainy kind of day so I thought it would be a good idea to drag the kids away from the tv and do a bit of crafting. I love paper plate crafts as they’re so cheap and easy to do – you can normally get a pack of paper plates for a pound meaning that it doesn’t matter if things don’t go exactly to plan. We’ve been taking a lot of walks in the wood recently watching the season start to change so I thought it would be fun to make some woodland animals, this here is our paper plate badger and you can also check out our paper plate fox!
