Last weekend we made our very own knight’s shields as part of our St George’s Day celebrations. They actually turned out a lot better than I expected them to and the kids had a great time play acting with them out in the garden.

Having teenagers stuck at home during the lockdown is tough. Trying to keep them entertained without the use of screens is almost impossible! I have asked my fellow bloggers for some ideas though and they’ve come up trumps for me. Here are some great lockdown activities for teens.

Most households have glass jars of some sort in the cupboard such as pasta or curry sauce jars. It seems a shame just to throw them away so here are some fab glass jar crafts ideas to put your empty jars to good use. We love a bit of upcycling!

My kids love getting involved when it comes to cooking meals and I find it also means they’ll try more things if they’ve actually made it themselves. It’s so important that children learn where their food comes from and how to cook from scratch. So many people don’t know how to cook basic meals its scary! Here are some fab easy recipes that kids can cook too.

I don’t know about you but my favourite gifts are always of the homemade variety. I love all the hard work the kids put in to it and their sense of pride when they present me with their lovingly made gifts. A homemade gift is always completely unique so no one else will ever have one the same as you. If it has their hand or footprints on that’s even better. Cuteness off the scale! Here are some fab Mother’s Day crafts for your little ones to do.
