creative kids – that’s NOT a box!
There’s an old saying that you can just give the kid a cardboard box rather than it’s contents and they will have just as much fun.
These ideas from Lil Sugar take the humble cardboard box to a whole new level!
If this is all beyond your ability or available time, you might love these goodies from our little shop;

creative kids – paper lanterns
As a kid, making paper lanterns was one of my favourite craft activities. I used to have strings of them hanging around the house.
With a much more beautiful range of papers available these days the scope for creating really amazing lanterns is huge! Look at these pretties and visit here for the tutorial on how to make them (just in case your memory, like mine, doesn’t stretch back to the specifics of your kindergarten crafting days) …

creative kids – bird houses
School holidays have arrived here so, chances are, you are also in the middle of them or they are just around the corner. Over the next two weeks I’ll be posting some fab activities to keep the little darlings occupied and their big imaginations stimulated.
Let’s start with paper birdhouses. Girls and boys all love a birdhouse so this activity should keep everyone in YOUR house happy.
To create these little beauties you’ll need to transfer this template onto heavy paper or cardboard then simply follow the guidelines to folding and glue.

If that’s all too hard for you, we have these fantastic ‘Design Your Own Wooden Bird House‘ kits in store. From one of our favourite brands Seedling, New Zealand, the kits come blank with a set of paints and paintbrush ready for your little ones to create their own magic.
Whether your bird house ends up on a bedroom wall or hanging from a tree in the backyard, this activity is sure to be a winner.

creative kids – monster rocks
Turn pebbles into fun monsters – friendly or scary. Let your imagination run riot. Paint them all over first, one side at a time, leaving them to dry thoroughly. Then paint on details using a fine paintbrush or artline pen. Use acrylic paints or tester pots of household paints. Glue on goggle eyes to complete the faces. Courtesy of cocoa bean uk.
