I thought I’d do a list of some of the best craft posts that I’ve found over the past week.
Hope you are as inspired by them as I was…
Lusi at Fiskars Craft had a fantastic indoor treasure hunt with her 3 children, which would work well outside, too.
She and the kids created treasure maps and various special destinations in the house to trek through on their way to ‘discovering’ the buried treasure.
Nan posted about some lovely woollen pieces that she’s been working on over at Nannybird Crafts, including a dish~cloth dress, and a cute “tie one on shawl”.
Makes me wish I could crochet or knit or something. ~See? I’m not even sure which is which.
Over at Crazy Stamp Girl, Jen has come up with a cool 10 rubber stamping ideas for children. We don’t actually have any stamps, but it’s definitely on my wish list to get a small collection of cute ones.
Chris posted a list of great butterfly crafts at Kid Crafts Magazine, that her 5 year old daughter enjoyed. I thought that the butterfly flier was especially creative.
I also found a new blog, Simply a Mom. Hope has written a great post on putting together a rainy day box.
This box and Lusi’s treasure hunt would have been perfect for our last school holidays, as it rained 13 days out of 16.
We were extremely waterlogged, and Wren & Mr Bump both had severe cases of cabin fever.
Luckily, these holidays have been very different.
We’ve had a night away in Newcastle to see Disney on Ice, ferry trips, an archaelogical dig (more on that next week), sleepovers and Grandma’s and visits to lots of different parks.
Plus they both seem to have gone through an “emotional” growth spurt and are treating each other much more nicely nowadays.
Which makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
Thanks for the roundup! As I told you the other day, I’m a pretty crafty gal!!
