Marble Maze

 

I made these super easy marble maze fidget toys for the kids. Bubby loves mazes and so it was very fitting. A bigger one might be good once he's older too. I sewed 2 pieces of felt together and then made the maze pattern with marble sewn inside. The pattern really could be anything (as long as it's a possible maze). I obviously kept with the size of the marble, although one part is quite tight (The felt might stretch..). I think it would be a good fidget for other ages and even a good toy for arthritic people.

Where's the Green Sheep craft

 

 This was an easy recycled toilet paper roll craft. I used this tutorial to create the sheep. Cut the shape out, then painted them and adding the faces and details once fry. We made the green one asleep :) You could make a lot of different animals this way. Dogs, horses, foxes, tigers, rabbits, reindeer, dinosaurs even giraffes.


Adventure walk tree frame

This was a great craft activity. We went for an adventure walk, each with a bucket to collect all sorts of leaves. Then made a cardbord frame with 'tree trunk/s' and used contact to make a sticky surface. We then covered the surface with different leaves we collected to create our trees. Bubby still brings it up as a suggestion to do again.
