    These ideas are great. I will definitely use a couple of these for my little kid especially the salt dough and the coloured water. Thank you for these! 🙂

    Hi there,
    DD and I have just made your handprint measuring stick using our empty wrapping paper rolls. I’m so glad I remembered your old post on this before I binned them. A perfect way to entertain us on a rainy new years eve! May I just ask, is there a reason my end why I can’t view your photos on instagram any more, or have you stopped putting them on? I really enjoyed seeing them and they in themselves were inspirational and prompted us to get out and about more/do baking etc.

    Have a happy new year! I look forward to all your future posts.

    Thank you. x
