  I sometimes hear people referring to crafting as being for ‘nanas’.  And it's usually said in a kinda condescending way. Like, you're just a little bit lame, if you're into crafts such as embroidery.    It's fair to say that I wholeheartedly disagree with this sentiment!

The kids and I whipped up this project together over the course of a day, and it turned out pretty lovely! They did all of the painting, then I did the construction part after they went to bed. You should have heard their squeals of excitement when they saw it hanging in their activity corner the next morning. They were so chuffed to see their handiwork turned into a fun an ..read more
