These magazine pumpkins are too cute not to share.
Halloween is fast approaching, and even though it’s not really a big deal in Australia, we thought these would be easy enough to make if you wanted to get your little ones into the ‘spirit’.
Check out all the details here.
Here’s a great little DIY placemat or play-mat that your little ones can get involved with. These are a such a fab idea for a unique little gift.
We love the example below for little boys. The possibilities are endless. You could keep extending the playmat by adding new roads, places, etc. You could even create one big playmat, personalised by your little one for your little one!
For all the cool details, including which paints and fabrics are appropriate, head on over to Modern Parents Messy Kids.
Here is a great indoor activity for the little ones that produces a wonderful piece of art. All you need is scissors, paper and glue!
Head on over to Splish Splash Splatter for all the details.
Meet the ‘cone girls’. Looking oh so preety and ready to be your little one’s new BFF!
Visit Mr Printables to print out your free (yes free!) paper dolls and their beautiful outfits. Then knock yourself out. From cute frocks to the cutest little tiaras and hats, your little one will have a ball mixing and matching!
And when your little one has finished playing, they stack together neatly.
Aaahh… how we love simple, beautiful toys! Thank you Mr Printables – these are just fab!
Who doesn’t love easy crafts that can be put together using everyday household items?!
This is such an easy little activity that can involve the little ones, and at the end of it, you end up with this beautiful little cardboard doll house that is collapsable and can travel anywhere with your little one!
………..Oh, did we mention that it is just adorable also?!
Thanks to kidspot.com.au for the following instructions!
Step 1. Gather all the equipment you’ll need to make this cute cardboard dollhouse.
Step 2.Cut the cardboard into a house shape. Cut around this as a template and make another one the same size. At the roof peak on one side, cut half way down into the house wall, leaving the gap around half a centimetre. Cut another from the middle of the other side, halfway up the wall.
Step 3. Use the painter’s tape (or washi tape) to create lines on the nice sides of the cardboard box.
Step 4. On the other side, glue all over the pattern.
Step 5. Place the piece of patterned paper over the template, patterned-side up, and smooth over the glue, sticking in place.
Step 6. Trim the paper, using the cardboard “wall” as a template and don’t forget the slice in the centre. Repeat with other “wall”.
Step 7. Have your child paint the exposed stripes on the taped “walls”. Leave to dry. Once dry, very carefully remove the tape strips to leave nice neat painted stripes. Line up the two slits and slide in so they create an “x” shape from the top. You’ve just created the basics of the dollhouse, now get decorating – mirror tiles make mirrors, a white gel pen can draw “frames” on the wall, buttons make nice wall art and regular dolls house furniture will work well (Spotlight sell this simple wooden furniture, which we then painted white).
