Well, we’ve had a glimpse of the hot weather recently – let’s hope that’s not our lot, and it’s a taster for long balmy summer days to come. With half term for many of us coming up, it’s time to think about some summer crafting.
A stroll across the fields yesterday showed me that the scarlet poppies are out which means I can do this craft again over half term with my daughter. It was hands down our favourite of last year, and occupied a whole day what with getting out in the countryside collecting the petals, then bringing them home to make vibrant paint with.
How to make watercolour paints with flowers
The Fairy And The Frog has another sweet idea for flower petals, using them to make a different kind of art.
Now the sun is finally out, it’s a great time to make these super-cute sun catchers from Here Come The Girls. All kids are obsessed with Ladybirds aren’t they?
We’re always on the look out for new games to play, and this post by Kids Chaos fits the bill, and it also has cool printable label and encourages re-use.
Speaking of re-use, Red Ted Art has a gorgeous collection of crafts to make using sea glass. I’m sure I’m not the only one obsessed with collecting this on the beach.
Play and Learn Every Day has a great craft so you can carry on having beach fun, even after you’re back home.
There are loads more seaside themed crafts linked up over at Zing Zing Tree, go and have a look at all the inspiring makes over on this month’s Get Your Craft On.
