Joss and I took out crafting outdoors with a playdate this week, she and a friend made handprints which we cut out and made into fish with buttons for eyes, with some tissue paper and card (and washi tape, standard) we made an octopus for each of them.
While they were busy with toddler octopus craft I snapped a few of my yarden favourites, vibrant fuschias.
That’s immensely creative and looks so professionally done! Good job, you two…I can’t ever overestimate the stimulation children get from arts and craft and wish I was a more creative person. It just doesn’t come naturally to me…I might copy this idea for some weekend fun with my girls!

I totally love those octopusses (sp?) What a genius idea!
I love this idea, when I was a tutor at a residential home for teenagers with SLD, I used to do a lot of handprint craft and it always went down well! Have you made reindeer ones for Christmas before? I’ll be doing so with 5 month old Baby C this year!xx
Lovely fuschias. #HDYGG x
A lovely craft. My two love this.
What a cute craft idea. And it looks so cool displayed outside. I think my kids would love this!
Lovely! And the Fushia are rather Octopus-like as well!
I love those octopi! That’s a clever idea and perfect for summer
Such a lovely craft idea and a great way to brighten up the yarden
Perfect! That white wall is the perfect backdrop for colour and fun. Seriously loving the octupuses / octupi?!
Hope you are having a happy weekend so far – and thank for joining in x
Love those octopuses and great to “meet” you on craft schooling Sunday!
