With an unprecedented amount of rain this summer, most children are starting to feel bored having played most of their computer games and completed their puzzles. So in collaboration with mums and dads across the country, Galt Toys has put together ten creative ideas to cheer up the whole family and spur the imagination.
1. Cooking – Children love cooking and eating pizza, from kneading the…
Have a go at creating a toy for your child that looks like her pet. I took a Zhu Zhu pet toy and added some big ears. Coloured round the eyes and ears. Don’t you think she looks like Cindy Woo our cute black bunny rabbit?
Cute, but boy, does she get up to mischief. Will tell you all about it sometime.
Here is the video of my little girl also looking like Cindy Woo:
Video on how I…
If you thought for a moment that teddy bears are boring, well think twice after checking this post about London Mums experiencing a Build-a-Bear workshop. I must admit I often passed by the shops across London and never dared entering as I found the idea of making a teddy bear not quite exciting …. I was SO wrong.
Check our videos here and see for yourself what the experience is all…

My Little Snowflake always amazes me with some new idea she has. I just adore this paper doll she created and all the different costumes. You can either have it as a doll or a unique card. She has made a Witch costume, Butterfly Fairy, Christmas outfit and many more.
Go wild a child’s imagination is endless:

This one is a great activity for the boys. How to grow a frog in your back garden.
First, here is my little girl and her friend who is on the Olympics games advert singing to the frog floating on his little apple boat song:
Next video is how to grow tadpoles into frogs. Total fluke of course the frog liked our garden and laid some eggs in the old swimming pool, we brought them in and looked…
I have fond memories of making gorgeous little peg dolls with my Nan when I was a little girl. Do you remember them? Here is my little St David’s day doll based on the Welsh Flower the Daffodil flower.
Here is a video on how to draw a face on a peg doll with felt tips. I was selling the peg doll kits in Borders before they shut down. I still have the unpaid cheque they gave me, ha ha. This…
Here is Little Snowflake showing you how to draw a beautiful bumblebee with Posca Pens on her red wellington boots. We have videos on how to save the bumblebee if you are interested. We love butterflies, dragonflies and bumblebees, do you?

This is one of my favourite videos of my little girl showing children how to make a clown mask. Daddy had taken her to the Circus and she came back and made her very own Clown Mask and glove.
She sounds so cute! This is here little saying… “If you know how to cut out, you got a cut, cut, cut.”

Mums how would you like to make your own designer T Shirt for your child using their very own Moshi Monster drawings etc? I have come up with a way to keep that design on the T Shirt for a little bit longer than normal using T Shirt Transfer and my own special magic. Also I don’t just iron on the A4 sheet, which looks naff.
Want to know how? Leave me a comment. If I get enough comments I…
