Using Flowers For Kids Crafts

January 24, 2017 by Mary Louise 9 Comments

Using up blooms that are not quite finished yet can be really satisfying. Especially when it means getting some good family time in also and crafting with your little ones. We always have flowers in the house and various types of foliage so my Daughters little green fingers are already eager at the age of just Four.

This morning we used some flowers and had a crafting hour at breakfast time. We were up extra early after a great night’s sleep and pulled the curtains to let the light flow in through the morning mist. By using some plain paper mats, a small pair of scissors and an almost dried up bunch of flowers we made pretty pictures and shapes whilst having a lovely chat and munching away at our toast. read more

Over the years we have been collecting toys from the range Wow toys. They go down a hit on play dates and all the children of many ages enjoy them.
Like any Three year old my Daughter Olivia has an obsession for watching Kinder egg surprise videos on You Tube. Oddly enough this is very normal. She loves to watch them being unwrapped and the whole show stopping reveal of what may be inside really excites her. I am one of those Mums that likes a challenge and had a really silly idea of building a giant egg to place a bundle of Wow toys in for Olivia’s recent birthday. read more

My 1st Years #Review

My 1st years is a company that produce personalized products for Babies and Children.
Olivia and i were sent some items to mess around with and have an afternoon of Mummy and Daughter fun! We had some well deserved time together after Olivia’s first week at Pre school and after a whole week of sleeping through the night she was due a treat. Her favorite activity is to paint and the gifts from My 1st years arrived just in time.

Of course being the child of a blogger i had to bribe her to stand still for ten seconds whilst i captured that perfect photograph for my post. But doesn’t she look so cute in her new personalized apron? We made lots of mess and thoroughly tested the fabric. After our play date Olivia’s apron was messy and covered in bright pink paint. The back of the apron is designed to slip off of the child’s body by simply loosening the velcro pads. Within ten seconds i had wiped the garment down and set to clearing the rest of the mess away. read more
