I show you how to make pom poms with only your hand and scissors to create a super easy Halloween Garland.
Make a monster, Jack O’ Lantern, bat, ghost and mummy! All you need is yarn and googly eyes (or you can make eyes with card paper). I also use a DVD case for the ghost and some cardboard to make the mummy!
Check out the video for the full how-to!
Glue and salt painting is one of my favourite art activity ! This is a fun art activity at any time of the year but since it’s Halloween tomorrow, we made a Halloween craft ! Of course, it could also be a Itsy Bitsy Spider craft too.
You need:
Give it a try! It’s a fun and easy craft !!
No need for special fabric or chemicals! We used an old pillowcase and acrylic paint to make these leaf and flower prints! And of course, the power of the sun 🌞
You can watch it all in our video below. We hope you enjoy this easy nature craft!
To make your sun prints on fabric, you will need:
Fabric (we used an old pillow case)
Acrylic paints (or fabric paint if you want to decorate a cool t-shirt or a bag!)
Brushes
Water in a bowl
Nature finds (leaves, flowers, small rocks)
A warm sunny day
Tips:
If the fabric dries out as you’re placing your leaves, spray it with water. It needs to be wet to work its magic.
It was a windy day so we used rocks but be careful placing them; they will leave a print too!
How does it work?
Water evaporates from the exposed surface of the fabric in the heat of the sun but not from the areas protected by the leaves/flowers/rocks. Water moves from the protected wetter area under the leaves to the drier open area, pulling the paint with it and making the print. It’s so fun to peel off the leaves and reveal the magic!

I made some JELLY VIRUS just so that I could destroy them! If you’re frustrated with the lockdown, this is for you!
A super EASY super FUN craft. All you need is jelly, googly eyes and paper! You could also make them out of playdoh, slime, water balloons, or anything that takes your fancy!
Have a ball of water handy – you will get super sticky hands as you squeeze, smash and bash those pesky viruses!
Hi everyone. Today I show you how I made a cool painting using popping paints!!! It’s really easy to do, but you must have a tube or container that has a tightly sealed popping lid. Not a screw-top. And if it leaks, it won’t pop!
It’s the carbon dioxide from the fizzy tablet building up in the tube that makes the pop.
Remember, PROTECT YOUR EYES!!
Hope you enjoy this video!

Hi everyone. Today I am showing you how to make cool paper flowers!! They are so pretty. And when you drop them in water, they bloom on their own, like magic!! I wrote a nice message inside on of them. You could make one and give it to someone you love for a special day or just any day! Or just make loads and have fun!!
Watch the full video for my top tips!!
I used two different kind of paper, printer paper and construction paper. The construction paper absorbs the water more quickly and that’s why the flowers open more quickly than the printer paper. You can experiment with different papers!
I used washable pens because I love the patterns they make when the paper starts to get wet, and also how the colours swirl in the water. But you can use waterproof pens or even print out a flower.
I hope you enjoy this video!!
Hi everyone.
My friend loves dog so I’m making a dog-themed gift for her! In the first video, I show you how to make cute paw prints to decorate the gift wrap, using a homemade stamp. I also show you the whole present: the book (and a few more book ideas – see the description on You Tube for links), the bookmark, the card, and the origami surprise inside the card.
In the second video, I draw a dog to make the front of the card and lots of rainbow paw prints and dog bones for the back.
And in the last video, I show you how I make an origami puppy!
I hope you enjoy it! See you again soon!
Hi everyone.
I love spending time in the garden and today I am building a bower bird ‘den’. Bower birds are really cool. The male bird builds a bower to attract a female. They use twigs and lots of colourful objects to make a pretty display, and the female visits to see if she likes it! Then they go and use a different nest to lay eggs ad have their baby birds.
I had great fun building the little den and adding colourful bits I gathered from my garden (but not too many to leave some for the creatures that live there). Let me know what you like to do outside. I hope you enjoy my video.
Did you notice I kept saying bower wrong?
Hi everyone. I found some really cool stripy fungi in my garden and it inspired me to colour my own mushrooms!
There’s a flame mushroom, a fish mushroom and a jungle mushroom! There is also a little snail that’s coming to visit the creature that lives in the fish mushroom. I had great fun and I hope you enjoy it too.

Thank you for visiting!
Hi everyone. So I went to watch How to Train Your Dragons: the Hidden World and it was amazing!! It inspired me to paint my own fury – a rainbow fury!!
What fury do you think I should do next?
Can you spot Grimmel in the video? Do you think he is going to get the rainbow fury?
See you next time!
