I wanted to post another Quick Craft Club idea today but I didn't have time to do anything crafty with the kids last night and we're having a snuggle and a movie night tonight so I thought I would re-post one of our favourite craft activities. I originally wrote about this quick craft in March but for those of you who missed it, here's how to recycle your wax crayons.Break up your wax crayons and put a selection of colours into a cupcake case, I use silicon cases for this but I'm sure paper ones would be OK too. Pre heat the oven to around 160 c and put your crayon cakes in the oven, … [Read more...]
The Quick Crafts Club….
"Hi, my name is Cass and I am creatively challenged" Surely, I'm not the only mum in the world who is not very good at crafts, I make the effort and we actually do quite a lot of crafty things but not many of them turn out like they were supposed to. My favourite crafts are the ones that take hardly any preparation and as little mess as possible so I thought I would start a Quick Craft Club to share my mess free easy kids crafts with you each week. If you've got any ideas or would like me to feature you in the next Quick Craft Club then leave a link to your post in the comments … [Read more...]
Bored, Bored, Board…. The Sequel
A little while ago we made our own board game called the Razzle Dazzle game and even if I do say so myself, it was brilliant. I can't for the life of me understand why Mattel or some other game making company aren't banging on out door trying to buy the rights to it (or not lol). We do actually still play it every now and again as Miss Frugal is so proud that she made her very own board game, she even took it to school with her for games day on the last day of school. So when she asked if we could make another one, I could hardly say no, could I?We were a bit limited with … [Read more...]
A home for Yama….
Cathy at NurtureStore has come up with a fantastic idea - The Play Academy, which I'm going to take part in each week. Here's my first entry: It sounded like such a simple craft session when Miss Frugal asked if we could make bookmarks. She's at the age now where she is starting to read independently and she will happily sit quietly in the corner reading to herself and she's starting to enjoy the books that she reads - at the moment she's reading The Twits and it's quite funny to watch her reading, every now and again she'll start to laugh or she'll look really surprised at something she's … [Read more...]
Please Mr Postman….
Why does the last day of the school holidays go so fast? We've had a lovely two weeks but I think the kids are both really looking forward to going back tomorrow.We always like to do something really fun on the last day of the school holidays but Miss Frugal's feet are still bad and she wasn't up to walking anywhere today so we decided to stay home and enjoy the weather in the back garden by having a barbecue.Now I'm sure we bought a barbecue in the sales at the end of last Summer but I couldn't find it anywhere today when we were looking for it so we ended up using some of those … [Read more...]
Dominoes…. Or Snap….
Our Easter holidays have been rudely interrupted by a verruca infection! I took Miss Frugal to the Dr's a while back as she had three verrucas that just weren't going away, he said they would go eventually and there was nothing else he could do as they don't believe in referring children to the podiatrist unless it is severe. He recommended we try and get rid of them using Bazuca so we've been applying that but they've gone nowhere!In the last week they have at least double in size and are now huge, they are so painful that she can't walk more than about two steps without … [Read more...]
