We are past the half way mark folks. That is a lot of making we have done but still a whole load left which is great news as my two never seem to get enough of it, except that is, when it is super sunny and all they want to do is play with the…
DIY Lego Mud (chocolate!) cake
Last weekend Aiden turned three. People always say time flies when you have kids and birthdays sneak up on you, well this one certainly did. Aiden’s birthday was on Sunday and he was supposed to have a party on Saturday only he was taken to hospital on Friday afternoon and there we remained until Saturday…
#Littlemakes – Week 12
This week’s #littlemakes I think is a pivotal one – because it marks halfway in our year of making! 12 lots of lovely making done! Anyone else think that’s sped by?! Jemma fully expected that she would have some more lovely outdoor activities to share with you but unfortunately our totally crazy weather means she…
Treasure Hunt with the Grandfolks
As we have been away to Germany and only got back this week we haven’t actually made much recently. The weather had been so lovely that we were just out playing in water parks most of the time. We have however now returned to England where we are staying with my folks for a few…
#Littlemakes Week 11
This weeks #littlemakes are full of Summer fun as we have taken to the Great Outdoors to be inspired by nature and bask in the sun. Well it more than likely is only going to last a few days so best make the most of it we say! We were inspired by Andy Goldsworthy’s art…
Andy Goldsworthy for Toddlers
In case you haven’t noticed it is sunny! Like really sunny and really hot! Well hot for the UK anyhow and as I am down in England at the moment it is really hot for me, a Scottish lass (where you lay your hat and all). As soon as the sun is out (and often…
# Littlemakes Week 10
Time for another #littlemakes and this week our #littlemakes theme seems to have been quick and small across the two blogs even though I swear we didn’t plan it like that. Thimble and Twig have been enjoying the joys of spring and collecting little flowers and dandelion wishes (you know, the little bits that fly…
Learning Skills with Lego
I don’t know how many times I have said it but I know this won’t be the last; Aiden love Lego. He loves Lego and it isn’t a passing fad. He started young on it too. Younger than the boxes recommended actually because he received all of his Daddy’s childhood Lego one afternoon from Nana’s…
Aiden mimics Art (books)
A lot of the time when we are doing crafts I look up a project on Pinterest, set everything we need up, and then tell Aiden what we are going to be making. I select the projects based on things I think he will enjoy, and he nearly always does enjoy making them. Sometimes though…
#Littlemakes Week 9
I always seem to start my #littlemakes post exclaiming how I can’t believe it is already February/March/April and this month is no different because after the weekend it is May! How on earth did that happen?! This time though I have a valid reason for once again marvelling at times passing, because my #littlemakes post…
