Easter
We do love Egg Decorating Ideas – though decorating real egg shells can be quite tricky for preschoolers small hands AND can result in the odd broken egg or two (we always have some casualties)! So we like egg crafts, that once they are finished, are a little more robust! Though these are for decorating [...]
Well… we blew out 10 eggs over the weekend as part of a big family brunch and the kids and I went egg decorating CRAZY! So, you will be seeing a number of egg decorating ideas popping up. I thought it would be fun to do some Superhero eggs – I was thinking super simple [...]
Decoupage is the “lastest” thing here at Red Ted Art – we are trying out all sorts of different things to decoupage, including this Easter Egg Decorating idea: Napkin decoupage. We have used thing flower catalogues to decoupage and it work fine (nice and colourful). The great thing about napkins, is that they are super [...]
I am so excited to share this week’s Kids Craft – our little walnut nests. Walnut crafts are just something I am rather partial too – they really remind me of my childhood and I love the “frugal ness” of saving the shell from walnuts you eat at home. To make these little nests, we [...]

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to make pom poms with the kids for absolutely ages. I wasn’t sure when they would have the dexterity to do it. So, when I saw the fun “fork poms poms” making the internet rounds, I thought the same principle could be applied to a piece of [...]

The Dino Egg Soaps are ready as part of our alternative Easter presents!! I made some in different colours… wrapped them in cellophane. The red one is in fact a snake… but that works for the “egg theme” too I think. The kids will like them! Some are going to friends as gifts too! I [...]
This is a hybrid “How To” and craft round up – all about Kinder Egg Surprise cases – I made Tooth Fairy boxes for the kids… the kids made a horsey.. and I collated more ideas to inspire you this Easter (and all year round)! So, my children had some Kinder Surprise Eggs as a treat recently [...]
Hello.. a very quick craft for you – easy spotty eggs – a great way to decorate eggs this easter with toddlers and young children! They are part of a post I wrote for Tesco Magazine. As a child, we used to colour our hard boiled eggs with food dye and then stick on pictures [...]
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 [...]
I love these little Easter chick cards – they are perfect for preschoolers or toddlers to help with, but I think are cute made by any age group. I made them for an Easter series at the Guardian last year and haven’t had a chance to post them on Red Ted Art yet. But here [...]
How to make soap – for beginners or a Dinosaur activity for you! (Say what? Dinosaurs AND soap? Read on..). “Real” soap making is actually tricky, you need chemicals (Lye) and safety equipment (googles, gloves) and thermometers… so after reading lots about it, I decided that maybe it wasn’t quite for me. But I still [...]
