{Paper-bowl turtles: Sea-themed crafts for preschoolers - Little Hearts, Big Love

We’ve been focusing on sea-themed crafts over the past week, creating a variety of fish and other sea creatures out of paper plates, plastic cups and bottles and toilet roll tubes. These crafts are perfect for preschoolers. Most of these have been quite easy to make, although one or two have required a little more… Read More

Making a bracelet using a pipe-cleaner and foam beads

03/06/201516/03/2020

Threading foam beads on to a pipe-cleaner is a great activity for toddlers and pre-schoolers as there are so many things they can learn through doing it. Threading the beads on to the pipe cleaner is great for improving fine motor skills plus it can also help them with counting numbers, and shape and colour… Read More

The Friday Focus 29/05/15

29/05/201528/05/2015

Hunting Shaun the Sheep, continuing with our three little pigs crafts and seeing the horses and lambs at the Chiltern Open Air Museum means that this week has felt like it has had a bit of an animal theme to it. We’ve enjoyed family time together, had a lot of fun and had a couple… Read More

Papery Peep – May

27/05/201527/05/2015

I blame The Reading Residence for it. A year ago, I don’t think I even knew what washi tape was and now I am no longer able to walk past Paperchase without seeing what they have in stock. It’s just as well that we don’t have one in our nearest town! My washi tape collection… Read More

Three Little Pigs themed crafts for toddlers and preschoolers - Little Hearts, Big Love

Jessica saw the Three Little Pigs performed at the Duplo Valley puppet show at Legoland on a recent visit. The story seems to have really captured her imagination ever since. She spent quite a long time on the phone to my mum telling her all about the “piggies” and loved playing the Three Little Pigs… Read More

The Friday Focus 22/05/15

22/05/201505/04/2016

Jessica had her latest cardiac check-up yesterday afternoon. She was so good during her heart scan and stayed nice and still, happily watching Postman Pat throughout, and just got a little upset when I had to remove the ECG stickers. It is always such a huge relief to hear that she is doing well, her… Read More

Ziplock bag painting

Paint inside a ziplock page with white marks where a picture has been 'drawn' on

I love painting with my girls but sometimes I’m just not in the right frame of mind for dealing with the mess that it generates. Ziplock bag painting seemed to be the perfect way to let the girls enjoy having fun with paints and not have any mess to clear up afterwards – plus I… Read More
