Welcome to the crafts and activities hub! I’m one of those weirdos people who actually enjoys having a go at all things crafty with Freddie (4) and Sasha (3). My heart might sink a little when I’m asked to pretend to be a train, or some other kind of role-play scenario, but give me something to have a go at making/doing with my tiny twosome and it might not be the best, but I’ll give it my best shot!
Hopefully you’ll also find something here that you’ll like to have a go at too!
