play creatively
We had fun making a paper bird friend that can perch on a branch or even on your finger. For his legs we used some wire we had around the house but you could also use a thick jewelry wire or even pipe cleaners. Have fun with it! His wing can move back and forth …

We put together a new paper moth printable craft – you can download in merrileeliddiarshop.com (inspired by our moth costume from a while back, you might remember it). We love educational, creative, fun play. And these are just that. Milla even made her own baby moth version after we took these photos. It was so …

I put together a little printable pack that goes along with the dolls from the Tinypoet.co x Merrilee Liddiard Shop ‘Tiny Poets Society’.

Miss Milla is very much obsessed with cats. So we thought it was about time we did a cat craft (she’s been asking me why I haven’t yet, and why I haven’t made a cat doll for her either…so it was time I did something 🙂 – cat doll coming soon). We had a few …
We’ve been doing our best to have fun while we stay home to help lessen the spread of the Covid 10 virus. So we’re looking to things we already have around the house to repurpose and play with. Recently we made a play theatre from a Cereal box. We’ve used our ballerina printables in here …
In between remote schooling today we took a break to craft and play – a small effort to try and reduce the stress that we all feel building up. We had fun making this ballerina paper doll chain. Printing these on watercolor paper allowed us to explore coloring with watercolors, alongside colored pencils. We then …
Miss Milla and I had some creative fun today decorating faces with scraps of fabric, yarn, buttons and other trimmings. (We used old ripped clothing – so no going to the store ☺️). We already have ideas for using other decorating items such as flowers, leaves and even pasta noodles! So simple but endlessly entertaining. …
