Tales of the unexpected with The Boy, my pride and joy.
We went to a wonderful craft session today where we learnt how to reuse items from the recyling bin for great craft ideas. My inner eco-warrior recycles as much as possible, but reusing and repurposing in the first place is an even better use of resources. And it's so much more fun!
We used the ends of two water bottles to make this quick and easy Frog Friend.
When my 17 year old niece was a tiny little thing with thick blonde plaits and a penchant for making jelly from the blackberries in the grounds of our apartment block during her monthly weekend stays, I used to spend many an hour making Hama bead creations with her.
Thirteen years later I still have the remnants from our crafting sessions and have recently dragged them out to use with The Boy. However he needs templates to stimulate his imagination and creativity, and fortunately we've recently been sent a couple of Hama bead sets from DKL Toys to try out.
I've recently come to realise that bunting is an easy way to decorate a room for a special occasion, and with an abundance of card and craft materials, plus a willing and able assistant, it's a fun and easy craft activity to do together.
