Melty beads hearts ๐Ÿ’•

More heart inspiration!๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’œ

Hama beads, fuse beads, also known as perler beads or melty beads they are so therapeutic.

I did notice they bring in stillness, calming, and therapeutic benefits with the repetitive motion, especially the larger ones! I’ve noticed these are fantastic for mixed ages too!

We used alot of these during the lockdown too and the kids made some really awesome designs!

We found a mix of supplies from @spotlightstores @ikea_australia @amazonaustralia @kmartaus

VALENTINE’S DAY INSPIRATION CLAY HEARTS

Valentine’s Day inspiration!
The kids made sweet little kindness hearts.

Using polymer cooking clay a while back when the kids were smaller…. after seeing the blog @mericherryla kindness hearts.
We fell in love!

Leaving these little treasures around in surprise spots for people to find or just to give to friends. It’s a thoughtful crafty project. We need to refill our jar! Can’t wait to make more. It was fun!

Places to hide, …
School bag
Lunch box
Home
Classroom
Office
Book shelf
Leave it with a note

It’s all about love & kindness, making someone smile!

*kindness* Activity

Bright fun clay from @montmarteart
Clay cutters from a few places like our favourite @blackbirdandviolet @amazonaustralia
Each cooking clay has instructions on how to bake and depending on thickness for the temperature & time.

Art with rainbow rice

Rainbow fluroesent sensory rice!

This stuff is so fun…. so many idea’s, here is just one project with upcycling cardboard & glue to make rice art.

Dyed rice!!!

Coloured rice! Simple. Fun …… sensory play!!! Endless possibilities for all ages!

All you need is rice, a container with lid or zip lock sandwich bag, food dye (*we used ikea paints for this neon effect), rubbing alcohol or hand sanitiser or vinegar.

I usually don’t follow an exact recipe but combine rice, colouring & hand sanitiser and close the bag or container and shake….. shake…. shake, swooosh…. until all the rice is covered and dyed or paint, you can always add extra dye or paint. You don’t want to drown the rice.

Lay out to dry on a tray and dye each colour separately and combine when dry.

We found these gel food colouring from a dollar store but you can use any, the supermarket ones are a bargain.

This bag of rice was $2-3 from @aldiaustralia
