Today is one of those few rare days when I feel like a mum who has Got It All Sorted. Well, except for the cleaning, obviously. Why? Well, because today I’ve been doing some Batman science with my boy and he loved it. Not just that though, this Batman activity helped with his letter and word recognition. Cool huh? He doesn’t know or care about that though, all he knows is that he had loads of fun!
With Chinese New Year on the way I thought it might be good to share some easy sheep crafts that kids can make so that they can all help join in with the fun, it’s the year of the sheep this year after all! Then I thought, you know what? I’m freezing today, totally freezing and totally over winter so sharing these sheep crafts is helping me looking forward to spring too! Either way, if you’re after some simple craft ideas for spring or for New Year hopefully they’ll be something in here to inspire you.

We had so much fun today making this Chinese lantern craft that I had to write it up straight away! With Chinese New Year on the way I thought this would be a good way to teach my son a bit about other cultures and he was really intrigued by it, especially as I told him it was an excuse for us to eat Chinese food! This is a simple craft that’s perfect for preschoolers and my one year old enjoyed playing with the tissue paper too.

This cute sheep craft made from cupcake liners is perfect for helping kids to celebrate Chinese New Year (it’s the Year of the Sheep this year!) or is great for kids who just like animals.

Cupcake liner crafts are great fun for kids and as they are a cheap it makes them an easy craft to do that you won’t mind if it only takes five minites!
