Welcome back to this week’s Kids Craft. How I love the Chirstmas Carfts season. There are so many wonderful and delightful Christmas Crafts to do with the kids. Each one lovelier than the other and a great way to build those wonderful childhood memories! I particularly LOVE LOVE LOVE these mini Gingerbread houses (Mini Knusperhauschen), [...]
I love all sorts of Monster Crafts with the kids, because young children can just go wild and have fun and not worry about whether their monster “looks right or wrong”. Perfect. Lots of eyes and spots and mouths and happy children. So we decided make some fun Monster Cookies, these are in time for Halloween, but [...]
Welcome back to Kids Get Crafty! This week we share our easy peasy Easter Nests – this is probably the most “obvious” Easter activities I can think of. But just because it is obvious, doesn’t mean it isn’t good. I am sure many of you have made Easter nests before. They are simple. Fun and [...]
Our playdate was cancelled, so me made some Yoghurt Muffins. This is a GREAT recipe for young children, as they can help you measure and pour and stir. Use your yoghurt pot as your measuring device! 1 pot of yoghurt (any flavour)** 3/4 pot sunflower oil 1 pot caster sugar 3 pots self raising flour 1 [...]
Well.. today we decided to get crafty in the kitchen again, with our Valentine’s Whoopie Pie Love! What I hear your cry outraged, Valentine’s already?!?!?! Well… yes and no. Yes, because this is indeed title Valetine’s Whoopies, but no, because I believe you should be able to tell your loved ones at ANY TIME OF [...]
Mmmmh more foodie fun heading your way RIGHT now! I have two top yummily scrummily food books for you. Actually, they are not just “food”, but food for a Happy Heart! Cake Pops, By Bakerella As you may or may not know, Bakerella IS the Queen of Cake Pops. Angie Dudley is the founder of [...]
Welcome back to Kids Get Crafty and our “Edible Christmas Ornaments”… ok ok… they are just cookies on a ribbon, but seeing as they are for hanging in the tree, surely that makes them and ornament? And as they are for eating.. surely that makes them edible. So therefore - edible ornaments? No? Christmas to me is [...]
Welcome to this week’s lovely “How to Make Lollibops”. By now we have all seen Annabel Karmel’s Stained Glass Window biscuits – I have seen in it various guises around the internet with varying degrees of success. BUT. Have you seen the Lollipops? Take stained glass window biscuits ONE step further and create these truly [...]
Welcome back to Kids Get Crafty… instead of crafting, I have a “book & cook” post for you today – how to make Easy Soda Bread… as you know I have been doing a lot of baking (mainly our yoghurt pot muffins and our rainbow cookies) with Red Ted and some cooking. And as cooking [...]
Hello, let me introduce to you the lovely Bhaven from Biscuit Village who is sharing their very own Royal Icing Recipe with you today. If you haven’t visited their site before, you simply MUST! If you thought biscuits were boring, think again – at Biscuit Village you can get Greeting Card Biscuits (how cool is that?!), [...]
So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day [...]
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 [...]
