hello,热门精选制作手工小制作教程

eneva, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">If you were stuck on a desert island with the kids, what crafting materials would you absolutely need to have?

I’m picturing a beautiful paradise island here, so we’d collect shells and pieces of drift wood and use them to make sculptures and drawings in the sand, or string them together into a mobile or necklace. We’d probably just need string, scissors and glue. Recycled cardboard, paper and colouring in things always come in handy too.


And because we love books and are always looking for good recommendations, what are some of your favorite children's books?

We love books too and read a lot. I’d recommend all three books in The Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton. Other favourites are Fearless, by Colin Thompson, A Particular Cow, by Mem Fox (my four year old’s favourite), and I will not ever never eat a tomato featuring Charlie and Lola, by Lauren Child.


Last, who are some of your favorite bloggers that inspire you?

There are so many! Kate from Picklebums, Maggie from Red Ted Art, Elise from Creative Play Central, Christie from Childhood 101, Michelle from Mollymoo… and there are many more

Thank you so much Kate, for spending a bit of time with us today and giving us some great tips on how to get creative with kids! I think the idea of keeping craft materials accessible to children is a great point. And I totally want to try the Borax crystals which not only look like a fun experiment, but also result in such beautiful designs.
