Make the most of the sunshine making it’s way back by creating some beautiful window art! Simply use your favourite colouring pencils and trace the outline of the templates using the light and board, you could also create your own designs too! Once this is cut out, simply bluetac or cellotape the back and stick to your window for friends, family and neighbours to enjoy.
Easter will soon be on it’s way, so make good use of your egg cartons by creating some cute spring critters like ladybugs, bees, and frogs. This is a great way to recycle and have fun at the same time!
Cut the egg carton into individual cups.
Paint or colour in the cups to resemble different critters (red with black spots for ladybugs, yellow with black stripes for bees, green for frogs).
Add googly eyes and pipe cleaners for legs and antennae.
Let your critters dry and then display them around the house.
