Welcome To Summer.


Stick With Me Kidz Summer Guide :)

Hello crafters unfortunately we've been experiencing technical difficulties and so our posts have been delayed but we're back up to date and we'll be posting twice today.
Today's first blog is all about the kids. Now that they've all broken up from school, whether they are: going up to high school, leaving for good or just moving up a year, we all hear the same words... "I'm Bored".
It's hard enough trying to keep up with the ever changing trends when it's comes to young people, and if they are between the age of 7 and 17 then it's even worse. So how on earth can we entertain they without setting up the tv or spending lots of money? It seems impossible but luckily for you crafter's you have a secret weapon... your hobby! 
Crafting is a great way to get kids outside, where they can still have fun and it won't cost you the world either! All you need is a garden table and our ''Stick with me Kidz'' guide to summer!
So how can you entertain the kids when they run out of things to do? Well how about you make paper lanterns, or paper windmills? They are simple to make and you don't need a lot of materials to make them. If that's not really the approach that you want to take then why not get some decopatch and get the kids to decorate that? You can decorate bird cages and all sorts, with all the papers that you've got lying around at home or ones that you can buy in store. There are loads of great projects that you can do outside and inside that the kids are sure to love!

If you want to see how you can make all of these projects and more then visit our Pinterest Board: Summer Ideas.

HOWEVER: if you would rather not spend time in the beaming sun, then we know the best way to cool yourself down. Get out your crafting box and pull out that christmas cardstock! Because there's no better way to cool down then thinking about cold, cozy christmas!

We hope we've helped and inspired you to get crafty with the kids!
