A blog written by a Mum with over 10 years of infant school teaching experience, at home accompanied by a two year old toddler and a four year old tiddler. Hoping to influence and inspire other parents and carers with similar age children when they, or you, are looking for an exciting activity to do. Most of the ideas are simple and inexpensive and can be created with most household items. Enjoy x

Buried treasure
We managed to acquire an extra bag of stone chipping samples from the builders yard that the girls enjoyed hiding in their sand pit.

Cellophane
I never throw anything out without thinking of a use for it . This cellophane had some lovely patterns on it which , under supervision, was great fun to look through.

Photos of completed construction-before destruction
To save any up set when it's time to tidy up I take photos of the finished pieces so we have a memory of our afternoons hard work !

Creepy crawly
For one of the girls birthdays they were given a big jar of craft items . Any left over bits from other kits are put in here when we are finished . We used some of the left over pipe cleaner cuttings and pom poms from the jar to create some spiders .

Pot and pans go bang bang

Pop bottle Penguin.
As I have confessed before, I am not the only one with a creative mind.
After finishing a drink of branded milkshake, My eldest daughter was fascinated with the shape of the bottle which looked like a penguin . After removing the label and realising it was white we set out to decorate it .
After a bit of scavanging, and raiding Grandma's sewing box we managed to come up with a fantastic home made penguin.

Pizza
Lovely sticky dough, what fun especially when it's followed by yummy pizza.
I used a packet mix that you add water to.
