We were sent a big box of craft materials at the end of the Summer to have fun with, and with Halloween rapidly approaching, we have been enjoying some Halloween craft projects – and a bit of bonfire night firework fun too!
Today is the Autumn Equinox, and as such marks the first “official” day of Autumn 2015. The leaves are beginning to fall, the days are getting cooler, and we’ve been getting rained upon on a regular basis all month. Baker Ross sent us a couple of Autumn crafts to try out, and so Georgie, Lydia and I have been having lots of fun.
The Rugby World Cup is about to begin and Baker Ross are joining in the fun with a range of crafting activities for kids. We were sent a pack of Rugby Coaster Kits for Georgie and Lydia to try out, and they’ve been having a lot of fun. At just £3.96 for a pack of 6 kits, they are an inexpensive and easy way to get crafting.
Papercutz sent us a great selection of A4 and A3 paper and card to get crafting with, and so the kids and I had some fun on a rainy afternoon doing some paper crafts last week. We’ve got some A3 cards and coloured papers, and some A4 coloured papers, cards and label sheets.
As part of our twitter party, we are challenging the children to make their own Inside Out jigsaw puzzles. To join in the fun, you need to have a picture printed onto some card, some felt pens/crayons, a ruler, a pen, and a pair of scissors. It’s also handy to have a small bag to keep …

Georgie is into letters at the moment, and starting to be more interested in colouring in, so I decided to make some alphabet bunting sheets we could print out and colour in to make name bunting. To add some fun, I made templates with stripes, spots, as well as a plain one. I’ve created PDFs for …
We have recently joined the Baker Ross Bloggers Network (woohoo!) and this week saw our first delivery of Baker Ross goodies to get crafty with. Baker Ross are a craft supplies company that specialise in arts and crafts materials aimed at children. They have everything from basic craft kits that just involve sticking bits together to create something, to candle making kits and beginner sewing kits.
When Hillarys got in touch offering me 1m² of fabric and asking me to take part in their craft competition I said yes immediately, with this idea already in mind. I’ve been wanting a pin board by my desk for a while, but wanted something attractive, as my work space is in the corner of …
I’ve been enjoying crochet for a few years now, and even blogged about what you need to get started with the hobby – my crochet starter kit. Knitting, however, has always been beyond me. I have tried to learn to knit a few times with very little success, but I am determined to give it …
