Pumpkin Nature Suncatchers are so pretty and easy to make, I highly recommend you adding them to your Autumn to do list. Not only are they really simple to do, gathering the nature items will get you outside too! Win, win!

Sometimes you can't beat the staple activities that we have been doing for years and years. I remember doing leaf rubbings as a child myself. They never fail to bring delight to the children so is a must do activity with Autumn being in full swing.

With Halloween fast approaching you may be looking for some fun crafts and activities to do with the children. Our witches hat silhouette art will go down a storm with the children. A bonus is it can be done with a range of different ages so if you have different children to cater for this is a fun one that lots of ages will really enjoy doing.

Autumn is my favourite time of year for crafting. I love being able to use lots of natural resources for our crafts and activities. After a busy week at work and school, heading out in the Autumnal sunshine is a real tonic. The children are at lovely ages too where they love a challenge to find nature items to collect and bring back home for an activity.

I have a great activity for Earth Day today. Magic Colouring is lots of fun and you can tailor it according to any topic or current interest. Today we are doing this as an experiment for Earth Day and it's a fun one to talk about cause and effect. Kids are always really blown away by it and the good thing is -it's using items you will no doubt already have at hand. So lets get stuck in.....

I have another fun craft idea for Earth Day to share with you today. Earth Day takes place annually on the same day each year, the 22nd of April. Are you planning to do anything in particular for it? In the past we have done litter picks in our local community and we have also turned all electricity off for a set time and come together to do a fun craft or read a story together.

Earth Day takes place annually on the 22nd April and was first held in 1970. Each year has a different theme and there are different events co-ordinated in over 193 countries. You too may be looking to support this event with the children doing fun Earth Day arts and crafts to introduce discussion about Earth Day and the importance of looking after our planet.
One of my first ever blog posts was showcasing around 20 ghost milk bottle decorations I had set up in the garden for a Halloween party we were having. I had sent text messages to close family and told them to save their bottles! Here is a little cheeky update on this activity idea incorporating milk bottle pumpkins, Frankenstein and of course ghosts!

OKIDO The Arts and Science Magazine for Kids Review AD
Recently we have been introduced to Okido which is an Arts and Science Magazine for Kids. As big advocates for play I can't begin to express how I have been incredibly impressed with the content inside this magazine. It is a monthly magazine, available via subscription suitable for children aged between 3-7 years old. It is jam packed with stories, activities, games, doodles, recipes and poetry.

Pour Painting Flower Pots
In preparations for Spring gifting for Birthdays and Mothers Day I did the most wonderful activity with the children that we all had so much fun with - using the pour painting technique on terracotta pots! I shared the video of this activity over on Instagram and Tiktok this week so do make sure you come and join us over on there to see all the other lovely things we share!
As November and December roll around and Christmas gifts are being purchased for family and friends, I always love to add special touches to their gifts that really personalise them. If you have followed us over on Instagram you may remember me sharing this lovely activity in my stories as we've made it.
My children are forever asking to draw so over the course of these months I whip out lengths of brown paper for them to freely decorate at the table. Our family and friends are always so touched to receive the gifts so thoughtfully wrapped and it really is a joy for us to hand them over to show them how much the memories we've made with them mean so much to us.
