Little Moments: More Snow and Book Day

March 9, 2018 by Rosie 6 Comments

Little Moments is where I reflect on all of the little things that have made me happy, thankful or inspired that week. I hope that I will also inspire you to do the same…

I still can’t believe it’s March already – where on earth is the time going? It’ll be Easter before we know it!

I didn’t get around to posting my little moments last week – as well, you know, life happened! So this week I’m looking back over the last couple of weeks. The world outside has transformed from a wintery Narnia, to the promise of spring over the last two weeks. I don’t know about you, but we are ready for spring to arrive!

These are my little moments for the last couple of weeks:

Playing in the snow

Despite the freezing cold temperatures, we did have fun playing in the snow. LP decided it would be fun to scoot in the snow! I can just imagine in a few years this will be her on a snow board!

Dressing up for Book Day

Little M’s school continued on through the snowy weather – so luckily he didn’t miss out on World Book Day. He was excited to dress up as ‘Jupiter’ – not your typical book day costume. But he’s obsessed with space at the moment and has a space book he loves to read. I love that he decided to not follow the crowd – may he always be that way! He helped make the costume and his hard work paid off, as he won best class costume. Proud mum! 🙂

Forest School

LP and I have been enjoying going to forest school recently. She just LOVES to be in the outdoors and is in her element there. This week she enjoyed collecting leaves and making them into a crown. Now the weather is warming up a bit, hopefully we won’t need quite so many layers!

New playgrounds

We’ve been trying to explore the area around us a little bit more and have discovered a few new playgrounds recently. It’s amazing the difference a change of scene can make isn’t it? The kids have loved discovering some new play equipment!

Class crown

A lot about Little M this week I know, but I was so proud when he came out of school wearing the class crown this week. His teacher was so pleased with how much he has grown in confidence. He’s really come a long way since we moved in October.

Playing together

Our twosome have been getting along together so well recently. Yes, they have their moments, but on the whole they play together so nicely. I even sometimes get a hot cup of tea lately – that’s a parenting win!

What have you been up to? Any little moments to share?

    Looks like she really is very happy scooting in the snow. I imagine it’s not easy to do so. #pointshoot

Easy Washi Tape Hearts! 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easy Washi Tape Hearts! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Would you like to make some last minute Valentines this weekend? ❤️(Or maybe you're stuck in isolating like us 🤪).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These easy washi tape hearts are so quick and easy to make - they look really effective too! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've posted a blog post (link in bio) but to be honest these are so simple to make.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Cut a heart shape from card - you could use an old piece of cereal box.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Tear pieces of washi tape and create a collage. See what mix of patterns and colours you can make!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Add a face with a black pen or goggly eyes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Write a note on the back for someone special!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't have any washi tape you could also use left over pieces of gift wrap and stick on with glue. 🎁 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you giving Valentines on Monday? Are you making anything special with the kids?

I think the best Christmas decorations are the homemade ones, how about you? 🎄 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toilet roll crafts are one of our faves as you don't need much to make them - it also reuses those cardboard tubes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These Santa Claus and Mrs Claus toilet roll ornaments are really easy to make with just a few materials. Inspire children to make their own Santa 🎅 or Mrs Claus 🤶 - or perhaps they might decide to make their own Christmas characters!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do your kids like to make homemade Christmas ornaments?
Hello!👋 Rosie here! It’s been a while! How Hello!👋 

Rosie here! 
It’s been a while! How was your summer? I hope you had a break from routine?

I took a social media break so I could focus on just ‘being’ this summer. It’s been a challenging year for us all and sometimes it’s good to take a step back and focus on what matters. ❤️

I love this photo of me and my gang (we are about to go on a pony trek!) 🐎 It sums up our summer - getting outdoors, trying new things and most of all, spending time together. 🥰

I also wholeheartedly recommend a visit to @pembreycountrypark in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 where this picture was taken. We loved it so much we could have spent much more than a day there!

Did you have a break from routine this summer? What did you get up to?
What can you create with a wooden spoon?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've had a go at making some wooden spoon people puppets! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These were so fun and easy to make. Your children can use their imagination to create any different characters that they like! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the ideas my kids came up with were: mermaids, ladies with pretty dresses and super heroes. Scroll to see some of the finished results!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope your children have as much fun making these wooden spoon people puppets are much as mine did. Once you’ve made your puppets you can go ahead and put on a puppet show!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Click on the link in my bio for the full tutorial.

Have you used wooden spoons for your kids to craft with? What did you make?
Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ I put this on my stor Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ 

I put this on my stories, but then thought was too cute to not share properly! 💚

This wonderful stick fairy idea came from @mothernatured 👏 
I made one for the woodland playgroup I co-run and the children loved making their own versions! 💚

I recommend using dry sticks. Use pva glue and leave to dry thoroughly. Some of our group also found tying leaves on with yarn worked really well too!

Do you like to make nature crafts with your kids? 🌲

Do you have a Peter Rabbit fan in your house? My daughter adores the Peter Rabbit books and the tv show. How about your children? 🥕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love making our own toys from recycled bits and bobs in the house, so decided to have a go at making a Peter Rabbit figure using a toilet roll! ✂️ 

You can make this Peter Rabbit toilet roll DIY with an empty toilet roll and a few bits and pieces from the craft box.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you like making recycled crafts? Does it feel like spring where you are? 🌸
Happy Mother’s Day to all those celebrating this Happy Mother’s Day to all those celebrating this weekend. 🥰🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love using washi tape in crafts, especially homemade cards. It’s so fun and easy to use and looks really effective. Why not give it a try? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make these washi tape cards for any occasion. Your kids will enjoy coming up with their own designs. Search ‘washi tape cards’ on the blog for full tutorial.

Have you used washi tape in kids art and crafts? 👩‍🎨
