28/07/201728/07/2017
BIC® KIDS Kid Couleur felt tip pens, BIC® KIDS Evolution® Ecolutions® colouring pencils and BIC® KIDS Plastidecor® crayons

My eldest daughter loves drawing. Some days it is a challenge to keep up with her paper requirements as she can spend hours sitting and doodling. Her beloved dolly Kerry is always a favourite subject when it comes to drawing. She features in most of Jessica’s pictures. Jessica also loves to look through my sketchbook… Read More

Two fairy wands made from sticks and decorated with glittery pipe-cleaners, roses, hawksbeard, sweetpea and leaves

My girls love making fairy wands from sticks. They are so simple to make and far prettier than any fairy wand I’ve ever seen in a shop. Each fairy wand is completely unique and can be made in just a few minutes. Perfect for a little adventurer keen to create some fairy magic outdoors.  … Read More

Sophie's leaf monster with dandelion arms

I’ve had a poorly little Jessica at home today so instead of getting out and about for our wild activities, we’ve focused on an indoor activity. During our day out at Legoland yesterday, Sophie collected some large leaves. These have been perfect for today’s activity – making leaf monsters.     This is a lovely… Read More

Children’s Art Galleries – saving and storing your children’s creations

09/02/201706/04/2017
Sophie's gallery on the Children's Art Galleries site

Both my girls love to draw, “do making” and generally get creative. Jessica, in particular, can be quite prolific. Every day she brings home new pictures for me in her school bag. I keep a few key pieces in the girls’ artwork folders but I can’t keep it all.  Sometimes I take photos of the… Read More

Jessica and Sophie doing footprint painting in the garden

Both my girls enjoy getting creative with paint and paper. Whilst I love to encourage their creativity, I don’t enjoy clearing up the mess afterwards! Making the most of the warm sunny weather and taking the paint and paper outside is a great way to have fun and be creative without having to worry too… Read More

Their artwork has taken over the door to our dining room and the side of the bookcase. I love displaying it. Whilst I’d love… Read More
