Children's Workshops and Family Crafting

I'm often asked about the resources I use, so here's a list of some of the things you probably have in the house already and some handy links to those I purchase most often. These are Amazon links, but The Range, The Works and B&M are beginning to get some good altetnatives.


  • Kitchen roll and toilet roll tubes - every time!
  • Cardboard that's sturdy, but easy enough to cut: cereal boxes/amazon deliveries
  •  Old magazines, coloured paper and card
  • Sequins and stickers
  • Parchment paper and clear packing tape to make our own stickers
  • Glue sticks/pva
  • Tissue paper 
  • Seasonal nature bits: sticks, pine cones, conkers, seeds, rocks
  • Poster paints and acrylic paints
  • Old adult t-shirts or shirts for painting in
