Make An Indoor Garden
We used bits and pieces from our junk cupboard as well as scraps of fabric and found objects from the garden to make this miniature indoor garden - a great project for a rainy afternoon, to being the outdoors inside!
Make an Olive Leaf Crown
At the ancient Olympic games, winners were usually awarded with a crown made of olive leaves. We've made our own winner's crown with green paper, and it's fabulous!
Make an Olympic Medal
Here is a quick and easy way to make your own "gold" medal for the Olympic games! Make sure the kids don't eat the bread, though! Unfortunately this was one of our earlier crafts and the photo is very poor quality and small, but you can see that Jack wore his gold medal proudly!
Make an Olympic Torch
The Olympic torch is a widely-recognised symbol of the Olympic games with its origins going back to Ancient Greece, when a fire was kept burning throughout the games.
Make a Basket
This paper basket craft can be adapted and decorated for almost any occasion and made by any age of child (with help as appropriate).
Make A Beanbag Tossing Game
This project is an excellent way for bored children to pass some time, as the planning and preparation of the game will take a while, and the game itself can be played on many different levels and stored easily for the future.
Make A Christingle
We made this Christingle. When we took this photo we had forgotten to tie a red ribbon around the middle of the orange!
Make A Christmas Bookmark
Here's an idea for children to make a personalized Christmas bookmark as a little Christmas gift - great for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles and godparents, or even "best friends". We've got ideas for making even quicker bookmarks below, too.
Make A Christmas Sleigh
Make a Christmas sleigh for your table centrepiece, the sideboard, entrance way or classroom, and use it to display your smaller Christmas presents this year! It looks great filled with Christmas crackers, too. Or perhaps the teddies would like a sleigh ride?
