12 Must Follow Facebook Pages

I have been wanting to write this post for aaaaaages. There are so many fabulous social media platforms out there and so many different ways to interact with each other these days and it can be hard to know which one to focus on… I love Instagram, for a peak behind the scences, I love Pinterest, well because it has SO many ideas in one place, I love Google+, because you can make great youtube videos with it, and I LOVE Facebook… because it seems to take a little bit of everything. You get great photos, you get the latest news from different blogs and you get lots and lots of new ideas as the page owners share the best content they can find. It is visual and it is fun and you can interact with your friends at the same time as finding inspiration and ideas – be it for the recipes, crafts or just life! So I wanted to share 12 of my favourite Facebook pages (ahem, I did of course include, Red Ted Art! I hope that that is ok!).

Please note, this guide isn’t about “size” of the page, but about what content they are providing.. so don’t be surprised to find a few “smaller gems” here!!

Packed with TONS of science experiments for all age groups – it helps non science people do easy science with their kids.  Visit their facebook page for all the latest science fun and gossip.
