FLOWER PRESSING
My children and I have had a wonderful week at my parents house in Oxfordshire with their 3 cousins. All 5 children have been outside from 7am till 7pm building dams, swimming in ponds and yesterday building secret dens and flower pressing. My 6 year old niece has especially enjoyed using the Flower Press…
Pressing the flowers…
Putting the press together…
Success! And only 1 day in the press…

Choose which craft kit to make….Daisy chose Boris the Badger Travel Buddy which comes in his own suitcase, with all the pieces to make a Badger Toy, his blanket and passport.

The Badger Travel Buddy comes with pre punched holes and a plastic safety needle which means that a 3 year old can genuinely make their buddy with only a little help. The other felt pieces are big stickers which are also easy to assemble.
Step 3…Play

Crafty Wrens have had a lot of fun working with 4 year old Lecky’s mother to make 22 party bags for his birthday party today.
Kraft paper ‘chip’ style bags, personalised with a hand printed ‘LOVE LECKY’ message. Each bag contains a Crafty Wren kit, beads for the girls and Racing Cars for the boys. 4 year old craft kit heaven! We had to include some bubbles and sweets but each crafted to make them a bit more interesting than the norm.
