Building with Edible Corn Puffs Miss Six has built with Play Mais before, and loved it. At the time, Miss Two spent most of the afternoon sneak eating the pieces. Clearly evidenced by the colour of her tongue afterwards – though I can reliably inform that we didn’t see any worse consequences from this mid day…

Cocoon Craft from a Pinterest Easter Egg I found these beautiful string Easter eggs on Pinterest, and of course they looked so easy!

Going on a hunt for snail shells was not my idea! Miss 6 had come home from school with a few the day before and excitedly told of how hers had been empty but her friend’s had had a snail in it! I can imagine that was a delightful moment of discovery! ‘We’re going on…

Toilet Roll Owl Craft – Owl Always Love You! I’ve had so much fun today with Miss 6 and 4 and this gorgeous little toilet roll owl craft. We started making them a few days ago, but both my Little Misses soaked their toilet rolls with so much watery paint that they were hardly standing up let…
There can’t be a luxurious desert simpler to make than this No fail Banoffee Pie, and whilst I’m pretty sure that most British people know what a Banoffee Pie is, I’ve rarely come across a Swede who understands what I’m saying never mind actually tried it… so to all Swedes out there, this is especially…
Shaving Foam Magma Doodle What a CRAZY game, and sensory play table. The kids could not believe that I was actually suggesting that they take pappa’s shaving foam. There was a great deal of cheeky suspense in the kitchen as to what exactly we would be doing with it 🙂 A friend of Miss 6…
One of the machines making our lives so so much simpler is the robot hoover we bought six months ago. It’s fantastic! Every morning, about the time we should start to wake up, it kicks in… I love it! Gone are the days of sweeping around the kitchen table 5 times a day; sand around…
Melted Bead Stars and Snowflakes These are just too cute! It’s exactly the same idea as the flowers and bowls we made from melting beads in the oven too.
