These neat little dragonflies would look great all over the fridge. I would imagine it wouldn’t take much to turn them into butterflies either.

Hula Hoop Rug

I really love the idea of these. Nice and easy for the kids to do and the result is washable! I think these will be the perfect way to brighten up the girls rooms when we move.

I just love this idea for getting some of your childs personality into their clothing. I can see a skirt like this fast becoming a little girls favourite.

This looks like a great recipe to use if your little one might be inclined to have a bit of a taste while painting.

I can’t wait to have a go with the girls!

The Crafty Crow links to this great idea here. This kind of thing will be right up my girls ally.

Tissue Paper Window Art

You can find the details here. I can see my girls having loads of fun making something like this. We are studying sea creatures at the moment and I am invisaging an underwater theme on the large lounge window.

The only issue I can see is that over winter we tend to get quite a bit of condensation on our windows and I’m not so sure the tissue paper would hold up so well in those conditions.

Rubberband Marble Maze

This idea was shared on a blog I follow and thought it was something the kids would have a lot of fun with. We might have to go looking for a piece of wood tomorrow I think.

Bethany really enjoyed doing tree rubbings today, she even found a few extra things to do rubbings off.

Finger Paint Recipe

mum2girls — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:36:32 +0000

2 cups cornflour
1 cup cold water
4 cups boiling water
a sprinkle of lux flakes

Put the cornflour in a bowl and mix in the cold water. Once the cornflour is mixed in well add the boiling water 1 cup at at time, mixing after each cup. Your mixture should have gone from a watery consistency to a nice thick paste. Sprinkle some lux flakes into the paste and mix till dissolved. These make the paint easier to clean up later. If your mixture didn’t thicken then try adding it to a pot and heating it up a bit more. Your water may not have been hot enough.
