Whether it’s half term or after school downtime mums always need to keep kids entertained. I don’t know about you, but I loved making things when I was a kid. And my little girl is just the same. Arts and crafts are so good for children it helps them relax and enjoy childhood the way they should. Very important if your child like mine struggles at school and gets a little stressed out…
Here is a cute video on how to draw Mr Men characters with Little Snowflake child artist.
I have come up with an amazing way to make great cheap postcards which are great fun for the children. They can create art postcards to show off their art, thank you cards etc and you can even scrapbook your family history like I have done.

Check our videos here and see for yourself what the experience is all…
