Crazy Hair Day – The Doughnut

January 30, 2023April 1, 2019 by Elle Steer

It was a wet dreary March afternoon when I felt like I had just about gotten over Christmas, both birthdays, February Half Term and World Book Day. Just settling in to the long term ahead wishing for some of this Spring sunshine to make life that little bit calmer and easier. When the familiar ping of the school parent app that has come to be instinctively met with an eye roll reminded me that with school, there is never a calm! Anyone else feel like there is literally always something to remember?!

Home Made Recycled Rocket

Luckily I have a space enthusiasm on my hands so when nursery asked her to make a space ship or rocket out of recycled items to go with their weekly topic she was so unbelievably excited.

Easy Woodland Themed Easter Bonnet

April 19, 2018 by Elle Steer

When it comes to Easter Bonnets, well craft in general actually, I am all about the understated. How to make something easy and effective with the help of children and perhaps maybe even beautiful whilst you’re at it and I am all ears! I am also a big fan of letting children make things themselves, which, I hear you say, may not go hand in hand with beautiful and understated! Well I am here to tell you that it can…with the right persuasion. And by that I mean surrounding them with the right tools for the job.
