So.....I have a confession......please don't hate me or think less of me.......but......I really don't enjoy wrapping gifts! Like really REALLY don't like it. I usually leave it to my husband.

There a few ways to make a volcano. All are fun, but this is super EASY! This was not a planned activity at all, it was a very last minute idea (which is why it doesn't look particularly great!), but it worked well and entertained the kids for a while! You will need A2 Paper [...]

I LOVE Autumn, but I was never really a 'wreath' on the front door type person. Until now! I don't know what changed, but I now think a wreath on the door looks fab and needs to be done. Yes - NEEDS to be done! Being a tight (with money - I don't like spending [...]
The end of school is nigh! Well, just for the summer. Have you got teachers gifts sorted yet? We wanted to do something a bit different. We thought we would share with you one of the things we're giving to our teachers. The kids made these Bookmarks for their teachers. We made the outline on [...]
Recently we were very kindly gifted a pack of 'Dauber Dawgs' by Cameron Frank Products. We thought we would put them to the test for all ages (well - within our family anyway!) from 3yrs - 35! They were enjoyed by all! Packing The packing was clean, bold, fun and easy to read. There wasn't any [...]
