Chalk Drawing Photos

I am always taking photos. Seriously, I have my camera or iPhone at the ready almost all the time ready to snap a fun or silly or lovely or precious or pointless moment. 9 times out of 10 the subject matter is my children. What can I say - I think my kids are rather fabulous (biased much?) and I adore having snaps of time caught that I can share with grandparents, family and friends.
So when I saw the idea of using simple chalk to create a fun backdrop or prop for a unique photo opportunity I knew I had to have a go.
This is a GREAT activity to do with your little ones. My kids love drawing and colouring in the 'picture' before they jump right in for me to snap away. Milla, who is 4 and a bit of a Disney fan, tells me "it's just like Mary Poppins when she jumps into the picture"... awwwwww
The above pic is one we created to use for Milla's butterfly party invites and below are some other we set up while I was babysitting my niece and nephew a few weeks ago
I was then convinced by my niece that it was my turn to be in a photo rather than take them all so we came up with this bunting inspired one... LOL
The limit to these super fun pics is only your imagination... Have a play with some chalk and your kiddies and be sure to share what your come up with!

Paper Plate Playtime Palooza!

I've said it here before - give my kids a glue stick and few bits and pieces and they are completely satisfied! Any little craft activity can be the highlight of the day around here so I am always on the look out for fun, easy and cheap activities to do... this has lead me to a new admiration for the humble paper plate!
With just a pack of cheap paper plates some glue, scissors a bit of paint and a few other bits you probably have around the house you and your kiddies can make just about any paper plate artwork. there are literally thousands of ideas to do but I have rounded up just a bunch of them here.
