With Mother's day fast approaching, I've been helping the girls get in the mood (it can't hurt to drop a few hints!). The girls have been creating a few Mother's Day themed crafts using kits from Yellow Moon - our number one stop for craft kits and art activities.
Both Lara and Holly had great fun making these Mothers Day Rosette Badge Kits which cost £3.49 for a set of 6 different designs. The kits are easy to create as they are made up of foam pieces which stick together. The last piece of the puzzle is a small badge clip which you stick into place -we've had mixed results with these actually staying on because the badge itself is a little too heavy. Thankfully the girls aren't insisting that I wear the badges but I am under strict instructions to display them proudly on my desk at work.
Next up are these lovely Mothers Day sand art pictures. If you've never tried sand art then I highly recommend it. It feels so much more adventurous than colouring a picture but essentially that's what you're doing... colouring with sand. Yellow Moon sell big packs of 8 different colours of sand which are incredible value at £10.99 because. if you catch all the run-off carefully so that you can re-use it, these tubs last for AGES! Sand art is still a bit tricky for Holly but Lara very much enjoys it as she likes to think hard about the colours she wants to use.
Other than a card or a rosette, its nice to receive a little gift from the girls at Mothers Day. Last year Lara very thoughtfully bought me a jewellery holder from a stall at school but this year maybe she might even make me one with these fun hand-made Jewellery Hands that you can paint or colour in yourself to hold rings, bracelets and necklaces. These come in a pack of two for £2.49 so I'm hoping both Lara and Holly can create me one.
Don't forget that you can earn between 5% and 20% cashback for your school on most Yellow Moon purchases.
