It’s been a while since we have blogged and it isn’t a surprise that lockdown 3 has been a part of that. We haven’t gotten out to go Geocaching for a while and it’s certainly taking its toll on us.
But, thanks to Crafty Cat Events for gifting the craft kits the kids have been entertained and have created some moveable figures and money banks.
Robyn got first dibs on which kit she wanted and by surprise she went for the moveable figures. They are automatic windup toys but without any personality, it was Robyns job to bring them to life.
Riley picked the car money bank with paint and foam, he couldn’t wait to get started.
Sophie was left with what she would have chosen anyway, a bear money back and only foam to decorate it with.
Cup of tea in hand, we left the kids to it, they didn’t need any help at all.
Riley and Sophie certainly took there time and the final result is beautiful and colourful. You can see Robyn’s creations in the YouTube clip and on the header, she had created aliens and a colourful mouse.
There was plenty of the silk and foam clay left, Robyn decided to use it on a spare money back that we had been given by a friend. It made for some more time of creating and we can only describe it as an Elmo inspired sheep, you know that multicoloured elephant?
Thank you again to Crafty Cat Events & Kits for these wonderful kits, we had so much fun creating with them. You can find the Moveable Figure Kits on their website along with a super creative range of arts and crafts. Perfect as an alternative or addition for the upcoming Easter holidays and as a way to support small during this time.
We have some more blog posts lined up with the thanks to our eldest Sophie who is now 11. Don’t forget to follow us so you get notified of our new adventures.
