We are all struck down with Man Flu this week, so today while my son was at Playgroup and my daughter was having a nap I thought I’d try and make a little craft to make them smile. We’ve been reading Miffy in The Garden and both my kids love to garden too (or in my youngest’s case, eat dirt). But with the weather today? No thanks. I thought this Miffy small world would give them the chance to ‘play gardening’ inside and hurray because they loved it!

Fun Indoor Gardening Activities
Are you enjoying the better spring weather? We certainly are! Both my kids have been having loads of fun playing outdoors and doing a bit of gardening. From the messages that were left on my post last week it looks like we’re not the only ones! Quite often after my kids have been enjoying something it’s still on their mind so inspired by that I thought that this week I’d showcase some indoor gardening activities for kids, not quite covering your house in compost but perfect for gardening inspired crafts that you can do in your home.
Free Miffy Colouring Pages and Miffy’s Birthday!
Did you know that this year is Miffy’s 60th birthday? She looks pretty good for it right?! Miffy is a firm favourite at our house with both my son and my daughter loving the stories by Dick Bruna. I was really happy to be asked by the people at Miffy if I’d like to help Miffy celebrate her birthday by being a Miffy Mum and sharing some cool Miffy stuff this year, they had me at the title alone! I’m starting my Miffy Mums posts by sharing these gorgeous free Miffy colouring pages which I know kids are going to love colouring in!

Scented Puffy Paint Flowers
I love sharing sensory play ideas for kids and making puffy paint has been on my to do list for a while and when we finally got to try it out the other day I thought I’d try and give it a little twist: making scented puffy paint! We made these sweet puffy paint flowers and they smell like flowers too, how cool is that! Even better is that pretty much everything you’ll need to make these is probably in your cupboards already.
