Our Halloween Crafts – costumes for soft toys. Yes Really. #BostikBlogger
We kept things simple this year – Bear is always keen to do crafts, but it’s rare we have time in a week for a big long craft session. So I find that we end up doing more if we keep things quick and simple – if I know we’ll be done in 30 minutes, I;m less reluctant to start getting all the craft stuff out of it’s various ooks and crannies (roll on the new craft table. One week to go!). So we started off...
FIMO kids form & play
I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session.

This 1.8m tape features a pattern of the words “Merry Christmas” in between 2 small grey hearts. It is cream with a scalloped edge and a grey outer edge. Spotted over at...
The Works – Utterly Bargainous Craft Supplies
Last Christmas, quite by accident, I fell over a website for a company called The Works. No, I know, I was probably the last one to hear about them, but just in case, I’m here to spread the joy. Because The Works are… a bargain hunters dream They really are.

Bostik Craft Blog – not what you’d normally use it for… #TinyRoomMakeover
This month I’ve been so madly busy with various projects I simply haven’t had a chance to sit and do crafts with my daughter. I know, I’m a bad bad mother. BUT. That does not mean I haven’t had the Bostik out. Oh no. In fact, I’ve been a good GOOD mother. AND I had to go and buy another tube of the extra strong Glu & Fix All Purpose. I LOVE this magic stuff-in-a-tube. Properly LOVE it. Want to see...
