Who doesn’t love a cute happy watermelon!!

There are sooooo many sweet treats!! So many sweet fruits….. I’ve noticed natural sweetness from watermelons are always a winner with children!

These cute paper fruits are perfect for pretend play and my little ones loved making pretend shops & cooking sets. Imagination is vital!!

Using old scraps of paper.

The idea behind #MAKECREATEPLAY is that you and your kids create crafts & activities which can then be played with. In a world of over-consumption we would like to encourage use of recycled materials, found natural materials, simple household materials or craft supplies in creative ways to create play.

Beautiful flowers!!

Watercolour flowers!
These gorgeous flowers are so pretty & bright!
We used some templates & watercolour paper.

Our favourite watercolour paint  palette from @micador using the bigger palette including the fluroesent colours make the colours pop!

The green paper leaves are from @kmartaus which added a nice touch.

Working with fun sponge stamp shapes from @zart_art  of the rainbow watercolours makes the contrast so bright & effective.

Great way to learn and play with shapes.

So many more ideas on how to use these, this is just one!

Hello sunshine!!!

Another sunshine inspired paper plate craft, ive noticed more shops stocking some awesome colourful paper party plates, perfect for crafty projects.

We found some plates party shops, dollar stores, ebay, @kmartaus & @targetaus & wooden pegs from @bigwaustralia or @bunningsbunnings

We used this plain one from Coles supermarkets but you could make it with any coloured plate and paint the pegs. We used @micador  watercolours & gold glitter & glue for the pegs and glitter puff paint to make the face.

Hope you feel inspired to create!☀️☀️☀️

Upcyled cardboard boxes into these bright cute posters decorations!

We used these rich creamy gouche sticks from @lifeofcolour.pens
Also, the paint pens for the kawaii faces work beautifully over the top once dry.

They look so sweet and hung up as a mobile or some cute wall art for the kid’s bedroom.
Hope you feel inspired to get crafty, get creativ, or dream of some colourful creations you would love to make!

Cute ice creams, super simple and so sweet!

Using the bright paint dabbers from @natsnest to create the cone with earthy dots, we added the bright dots from the colourful confetti dots from @ronisretailstore party section inspire by summer!

Tip: wait for each layered colours to dry before adding the next colour to avoid muddy colours and contaminating the tips, handy info to look after supplies so my kids also respect art supplies  
