Charity
Oh my, I remember when Comic Relief first started… and us all wearing Red Noses to school.. the teacher’s didn’t get it (we went to an international school, where charity fund raising days were less common). And we had a giggle with our mischievous noses all day. And now it is 25 Years since!!! Wow. [...]
I find it amazing when bloggers get together to support those in need. Every few months I see them doing amazing things. Whether it is helping a blogger make her totally rubbish council house vaguely liveable or launching tweet campaigns when the government is clearly loosing the plot on certain benefit rules.

As you know, we do like to get a little green crafty every so often. I love planting seeds with the children and experiencing the miracles of nature with them! Someone’s had a nibble! One year we made a photo log of our strawberries growing – with the final strawberry ending in Red Ted’s little [...]
Aaah look… the kids painted their very special PiggyBankKids piggy banks! (I only helped with the eyes and varnished them).

Stop by, take a look and see the very important work they are doing with supporting children – right from [...]

Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children. Flower pressing is another on of those “childhood” classic crafts that you can have a go at – it is surprising how well some flowers do press (whilst, ahem, other don’t). So [...]
