How to make a child-friendly Pumpkin nightlight

Child-safe pumpkin lantern from a jar

In the run up to Halloween- the main event during half-term, I've been pinning dozens of Pumpkin-related ideas over on Pinterest. I have always been taken with all the pumkpin-styled glass votives that are around, but was a bit nervous about using them with a) a good handful of pre-schoolers and b) a live flame, especially after the terrible injuries that Claudia Winkelman's daughter last Halloween. So, I created the child-friendly Pumpkin … [Read more...]

Paper Plate Clucking Easter Chicken

paper plate clucking Easter chicken

I have been meaning to write this post for over two years, yet every time I make these chickens they get taken into school by The Girls and used and used until they crumble to pieces. I should be flattered that something I used to make long before I ever imagined living in the country and owning actual chickens that lay actual eggs and poo all over the lawn, long before I had children of my own, should be so popular. Did you ever make … [Read more...]

What to put in your Frozen birthday party bags

what to put in a Frozen party bag

Wondering what to put in your Frozen party bags? Read on. In a matter of days in a village hall in Kent, there will be between 30 and 35 children running around being coralled by a woman bearing a remarkable resemblance to Elsa. For my part I am grateful that it is a joint party since this also means sharing both the costs and the responsibilities of hosting the entire Reception Year of Dimples' school. I got invitations, decor and party … [Read more...]

2014: a Year in Review printable

2014 a Year in Review printable from domesticgoddesque.com

Last Year I made a printable version of what had previously been handwritten: I would ask the children their favourite things, and write them down in a book, to go with the random memories I had added throughout the year. You can see the 2013 Year in Review printable here. It's been a busy year here a DG Cottage: we've been learning to adapt to life in the country. I've have done the school run in floods for the first time- terrifying- and … [Read more...]

Christmas Tree Activity Party

Christmas Tree Fruit Platter

It's always fun to mark then end of term and spend time with your friends in the school holidays, so when The Girls asked for a festive event, who was I to say no?   The result was a Festive Christmas Tree Activity Party, where everything was tree-shaped.   This printable on my Advent Activity Calendar board on Pinterest, via Vegie Smugglers. It's a great colour-and-cut printable that is a quick and easy activity for any … [Read more...]

Hama Bead Frozen Fractals suncatchers

Hama Bead Frozen Fractals Suncatcher

We awoke this morning to grass covered in a thick layer of frost, so have been busy in the kitchen planning for Dimples' 5th birthday *sob* which will happen after Christmas. It will have a Frozen theme, so we've been looking for activities to do at the party and I have to say our Frozen Fractals Suncatcher made with Hama Beads have turned out really well. They are so simple. We used white Hama beads, as well as a mixture of blues. We have … [Read more...]

Wax Crayon Poppies: a Remembrance Day Craft

Wax Crayon Poppies Remembrance Day Craft

Wax Crayon Poppies: a Remembrance Day Craft A couple of years ago I made some Pumpkin/Jack-o-Lanterns from wax discs of paper and wax crayons. I found the post recently and it occurred to me that you could use precisely the same technique to make poppies- an easy and effective Remembrance Day Craft. It's quite simple: you grate the wax crayons- I used red and black- then arrange the colours on a disc of waxed paper. Mine are from the sets … [Read more...]
