My attempts yesterday to 'make' our Grannys mothers cards were a disaster!


I tried to find good places for ideas on the web, but didn't really find anywhere. Maybe just a bad day for me;)


Where should I be looking?


Also does any one subscribe to the 'creative mag' is seems expensive at ?7 per copy- but maybe worth it?


Thanks,

Activity village is a brilliant resource - goes thru festivals throughout the year - Martin Luther King Day, St patricks day, Hannukah, Divali, Christmas - it's great. And...it's free!

And there are many others of course - I'm just a faithful follower of this one now :o)

http://www.yellowmoon.org.uk/ Not cheap, but very interesting, lots of stuff. I really like their products.


I heard the ? shop in Lewisham is good for stickers but haven't been recently.


The Mister Maker range from MotherCare looks promising. They do a Bumper Craft Box. http://www.mothercare.com/Mister-Maker-Bumper-Craft-Box/dp/B004QB50MM


Little Saff and I save the boxes from catfood sachets and turn them into all sorts of things, like treasure boxes etc. I also saved 10 1L milk cartons, and we're going to turn them into bowling pins!


Oh, also check out the Arts, Crafts, and Books section on the Myriad website. A lot of the stuff is for 4+ years, but you could adapt it down to younger. http://www.myriadonline.co.uk/natural-crafts-and-craft-materials.php

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
