Endless hours of fun and play with these XL coloring prints

How amazing are these supersized coloring pictures by KEK AMSTERDAM. Available in the prints To the stars, In the forest and In the city. Make sure the older kids don't have any homework that needs to be done first because once you get started there is no stopping to see the result grow and grow. A great idea to keep kids entertained without anything starting with an 'i'.
Another thing I love about these is the price. For only € 7,95 you don't have to break the bank to get your own.

Fake it!

How adorable are these little fake tattoos for kids. I'd even wear them. At TATTYOO they have designs for kids, adults, wedding you name it. Just as long as it is fun! What I love is the collaboration with some great artists such as some of my favourites like Ingela P Arrhenius and Darling Clementine.

Increadably adorable and very desirable

I don't know how to crochet. This was fine cause I did know how to knit, embroider and sew and where would I find the time to also crochet. But now that I see this little serie of images on House of Pictures I wish I did know how to crochet. This must be so nice for a little girl to play with. Change clothes, play with doll and bear or take a little nap on the sofa. I think I must meet up with crochet queen Yvonne for a little workshop.

Geometric shaped play house aka mat

You can always expect something creative from the Weekdaycarnival blog from Finland. Just like this little playhouse a.k.a. playmat that you can just zip together. She used the fabric from Finlayson. And if you love the bunkbed... It's Aalto + Aalto and the great TIGER poster is by Ingela P Arrhenius. You can buy this at one of our sponsors.

Painted blocks

Of course, a young child can play hours and hours with the natural wood colour blocks. But what an addition are these little faces and other painted decorations as spotted on the Lisen Adbåge blog. Easy to make yourself, just add different style eyes, mouths and other funny faces. If you need further inspirations you can also turn to the collection of the wooden blocks by Ingela P Arrhenius.  

Life size finger puppets

The best way to play monster is with these life size finger puppets made as a special project by Creature Features. I guess it would also be great fun to make one of these dress up monsters with the kids. Let them draw on a large white sheet, get a contrast coloured fabric from the market (or another old sheet) and sew them togehter. In the area of the nose you take some see through (I'd probably use material you would use for screens to keep insects out) black material. And don't forget while you are sewing to keep the open space for the arms. That makes these little monsters extra scary.

Having a crafty afternoon

I really hope to be able to spend many hours working on little projects like this with my kids. I love all kinds of craft work and so far my nieces and nephews have had the benefit of that. The masks are just an idea to get you started. The top ones are a free download by Sweet Little World and the Let's get ready to rumble masks are an example found on the Weekday Carnival blog.
