Ocean Themed Toddler Art

Updated on 11th July 2025 by Kate Williams | Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been wondering what to do in the mornings with my one year old while her brother is at playgroup. She’s dropped her nap and suddenly I’m back in the stage where I’m in desperate need of some activities for toddlers! I can’t sit around the whole time playing with toys so I thought it would be fun to do some kind of craft. Obviously at one it’s all about the experience rather than the finished product but I wanted it to look like ‘something’ if you know what I mean! Sea crafts for kids are perfect for stuff like this as there is no right place to put things and everything is the right way up underwater. This ocean themed toddler art kept her entertained for ages and it kept me busy too!

Minion Crafts – DIY Minion Money Box

Updated on 4th January 2017 by Kate Williams | 2 Comments

I know I only just posted my round up of Minion Finger Puppets but I got an idea in my head yesterday and it was one of those moments when I have to make something and write it up straight away! With the Minion film out currently I’ve been seeing loads of cool minion crafts on Facebook and Pinterest and I thought it would be fun to try a new tutorial myself. I was inspired by these fabulous superhero mason jar money boxes from Fireflies and Mudpies but my way of making them is a bit different, mainly because err… it was late and I was in too much of a hurry to re-read their instructions! Sometimes you just have to get on with the making!

How to Make a Bouquet Out of Baby Clothes

25th June 2015 by Kate Williams | 14 Comments

Sometimes a challenge comes through at just the right time and for us there couldn’t have been a better time to be asked to make a bouquet out of baby clothes. My days with a newborn are pretty much a hazy sleep deprived memory at the moment but my kids are about to welcome cousins into the family for the first time – so exciting! I originally thought I’d be doing this craft on my own but when my four year old son saw what I was doing he wanted to be involved too, this really was a joint effort. This cute craft would be a great baby shower idea or is just a fun gift to make for a mum to be!
