St David’s Day :: daffodil pinwheel spring flower craft

Celebrate St David’s Day or Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant by making this spring flower craft : daffodil pinwheels. I think they look so cheery that they’d be great to make on any spring day – and a vase of them would make a lovely Mothers’ Day gift. Here’s how we made them.

Coloring pages :: snowman printable

colouring pages printable snowman

I never used to be a fan of coloring pages, preferring to offer lots of paper, pencils and other art materials to encourage the children to create their own art. However along came L, who really loves to colour in and reminded me that there’s fun and benefit in many different kinds of kids activities.

Children’s creativity can be encouraged in many ways – and best of all when you’re starting out with the individual child’s passions in mind. She seems to find colouring in quite meditative and often sings whiles she’s doing it! So, with her in mind, I put together some snowman-themed coloring pages – and I thought you might like them as a printable too.
