Mini artwork keyring

christmas gifts kids can make
A gift made by little hands is a precious one. This Christmas Craft makes a great and inexpensive present for children's relatives.
This Christmas we are predominantly making our gifts for our family. This is something I try to get our son (15 months old) involved in as much as possible. This isn't difficult, as he adores being involved in whatever we are doing. The tricky part is finding a craft he can do solo, to make his own gift for grandparents and relatives.
These mini artwork keyring are low cost (approx 30p each) to make and simple enough that you can do even make them with tiny tots.

We just used an off the shelf keyring making kit from hobby craft. In the pack are 12 keyrings with pre cut paper for your children to decorate.

For simplicity, I just put a single colour of washable paint in a tray and allowed frog to decorate the card as he wanted. The card is double sided, so we let the first side dry and then flipped it over to decorate the reverse.
These handmade keyring will be stocking fillers for our friends and family as part of our homemade traditional Christmas.

I've moved on from my start up stash, and invest in nappies that will see us through til froggy potty trains, and ideally ones his baby sister can use afterwards too! Pocket nappies are great for this purpose and this week I'm reviewing the little bloom nappies You can grab little bloom nappies on  amazon  from as little as £2.89 delivered. So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?

Starting our kitchen garden

Growing our own food has been an ambition of my husband and I. We both really value locally sourced produce,  and enjoy spending time outdoors.  In our first home together (a basement flat in the city centre) we planted anything and everything we could in planters on the windowsill.   I had green beans trailing up the bars of our windows. They bolted and twirled up the bars but never got enough light  to produce anything edible. Then we moved into our first pub which had masses of outdoor space, unfortunately,  all car park and no dirt. We managed to sustain some hanging baskets with strawberries and a few herb planters, but that was about it.  Now we are in our new home.  A lovely country pub in the new forest, whiich offers a private garden just for our little family.  We moved here when I was 8 months pregnants and ever since, I've been desperate to make the most of it.  Since the new year we've been planning what to do with this neglected space.  I found this

Sowing in January- kitchen garden and allotments

What can I grow this January? After the business of December, January has hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm bored. I need a new project, and what I really want to do is get on top of my allotment and kitchen garden.
