DIY Butterfly Number Stones

Updated on by | Leave a Comment

I think that after making our DIY story stones last week I might have become a little obsessed with painting on stones, it’s such a quick and easy way to make something that the kids can use and of course they look really pretty too! These DIY number stones can be made in about ten minutes and today I’m sharing my tips on how to make them as well as some ideas on how you can use them with kids of different ages and abilities. I’ve been using this set with both my two year old and my five year old so they’re good for activities for toddlers as well as school age children and they’ve both enjoyed this pretty little way to do some learning!

Driftwood Aliens

by | 4 Comments

Do you hunt on the beach for treasure? My kids do, and actually I do a lot too. Beach treasure tends not to be silver and gold that pirates have hidden (sorry, I’d appreciate that too) but shells, pretty stones, sea glass and driftwood. The problem of course is then what to do with your treasure, we’ve previously made seashell decorations and DIY story stones and today we decided to make something with this driftwood craft for kids.

This sand in a bottle craft from The Gift of Curiosity would be great fun for kids to make

My son and I made this seaside sensory bottle for my daughter to play with when she was little and it was a huge hit!

This sea discovery bottle from The Imagination Tree is super pretty and I love the fish and crabs in it!

I love the way Little Bins for Little Hand’s bottle mixes the ocean and beach and then separates them again.

This ocean sensory bottle from The Pleasantest Thing is full of sand and looks gorgeous!

This fun rainbow fish craft put a smile on my grumpy toddlers face yesterday. After a few days of hot weather she’s been tired and grumpy but when I asked her if she wanted to do some ‘making’ she brightened straight up!

We love sharing crafts for toddlers and as under the sea crafts are pretty popular with preschools and nurseries she’s been doing a lot of sea crafts for kids at nursery recently so this was a nice way to continue at home.

My son has also been reading the Rainbow Fish which this craft fits in really well with! There are ways to adapt this craft easily for different ages and this post does also contain a bit of a precautionary tale which I highly recommend you read before you start crafting!

My daughter has been making a lot of sea crafts for kids at her nursey the last few weeks and she absolutely loves it! Seahorses seem to be her favourite (aren’t they everyones favourite?!) So I thought I’d continue the fun at home with this super cute seahorse craft for preschoolers, they make great crafts for toddlers as they’re so easy but really good for fine motor skills.

Since we made this craft we’ve also published a free seahorse template to make it even easier for you to make this craft together at home.
