FIMO kids form & play
I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session.

I snapped up so many deals last Christmas, and I continue to browse the site regularly; the stock is always changing and you just never know what you’re going to...
Bostik Craft Blog – not what you’d normally use it for… #TinyRoomMakeover
This month I’ve been so madly busy with various projects I simply haven’t had a chance to sit and do crafts with my daughter. I know, I’m a bad bad mother. BUT. That does not mean I haven’t had the Bostik out. Oh no. In fact, I’ve been a good GOOD mother. AND I had to go and buy another tube of the extra strong Glu & Fix All Purpose.

When LittleStuff did Easter Crafts #BostikBloggers
This month’s Bostik pack was all about Easter Crafts. We had felt and foam sheets, polystyrene eggs, coloured cake cases, fluffy pompoms, googly eyes, foam sticky-backed flowers, coloured pipe cleaners, glitter pens and from Bostik the ‘Glu Dots’. Oh the potential – the possibilities were endless. With no real plan but for an afternoon spent with the 7yr old, I laid out the pack before her and waited to see...
