We love our homemade easy crafts for the kids using bits and bobs from around the house – which you’ll know if you follow our popular Pinterest boards!
This is a great one for boys and girls, kids and toddlers.. get them to draw their designs first before you stick down the bits and if its sunny, its a great excuse to get into the garden this Spring!
