Agree with you completely that craft shouldn’t be done everyday (even though my toddler loves to paint)….it almost broke my back this summer :) !

And yes, I think people think I advocate crafting every day (though Red Ted sometimes wants that!!) but in fact, I think once a month is fine.. so long as you do it every so often and let your children experience and have fun together…. Just having a go and enjoying yourself is what counts!
And kids wouldn’t be very balanced if they only did the same activity each day!
