Little Knitwits Flowers

My Mums uncle and Auntie haven't been doing to well recently, ones poorly and now the other is as well.

I spoke to my uncle a few months ago and he was more upset about the state of his garden than his health. He was upset because he hadn't been able to plant any flowers for the past few years so it didnt look very pretty. And this is a man who's very proud of his garden.

So lil Knitwit decided to do something about it....

These are lolly pop flowers, everything was from lil knitwits craft box and have been put together using masking tape (the glue just wasn't sticking)

I cut some of the shapes from craft foam and coloured paper and he decided how they would look.

I did consider doing a tutorial but its pretty basic stuff , just let your kid go wild with the craft box!

Here is a list of things I put out for lil knitwit to use:
lolly sticks (ours were from a craft kit but you could recycle)
card
foam
buttons
pipe cleaners
mini pegs
masking tape

all in all he had a blast making them and im really hoping they cheer my uncle up, even if they wont last very long inside!

I like the idea of flowers that don't die and think these would make an awesome kids craft for mothers day etc! with the added bonus that they are no mess!

and when your in the first week of the summer holidays trying to remember how to clean with a small child running about your ankles no mess is a big deal!

Much Love

Stealing the Show

Today's craft comes from little Knitwit today not me!

The lucky little boy was given a magazine by his granny (momma Knitwit) this week,

The magazine was the cbeebies art one and as well as being filled with lots of cutting and sticking ideas, and colouring but best of all it came with this little craft kit! 

Now don't get me wrong I love a good craft session, where there's paint everywhere and I'm left finding glitter for weeks! But sometimes you just need something quick and easy to do with kids which is why this is perfect, it's a self contained craft kit! Seriously everything you need is in the little baggy! 

It contained build your own Pom Pom monsters and I'm happy to say little Knitwit basically did the entire thing himself in fact my only job was peeling off the sticky plastic at the back! (Yeah no glue was needed at all every component had it's own sticky tab! ) 

The kit contained pom-poms, eyes , stickers and other spongey elements! And this is what he made! 

Seven little Pom Pom monsters!!!

I can't believe how well he did! And I can't quite believe how fuss less the kit was! No mess at all I'm definitely going to see of I can make up some of these for little holidays and trips! Although they might work well for parties too! 

I haven't really been making at the moment, mainly I've been ironing. Yawn 

Much love
