Cheerios : not just a bowl of cereal

Sure, you can let the kids eat their Cheerios the regular way in a bowl, (or a cup with a face on it?!)…

Or you can do something a little different, and a lot more fun with them!

Such as stick them to frozen, yoghurt-covered bananas, in an idea I’m totally trying myself…

Awesome idea: Ivillage

… make mini doughnuts with them! So sweet, in both senses of the word…

Awesome idea: Work In Progress

… craft some perfect-for-Spring sheep…

Awesome idea: in video form here or via Female First

… or even use them in this savoury dish of chicken nuggets. Nuggets that I imagine are a little better for them than those served under the golden arches…

There’s even an idea here for you to make a note of for later… cute Christmas trees!

You may never look at a bowl of cereal the same way again ;)

Festive decor: wall Christmas trees

We’re officially counting down to Christmas! Woo! And what better way to do it then a round up of alternative Christmas trees (actually I predict watching Love Actually and drinking snowballs is a better way but this will just have to do!)

When it comes to Christmas, I personally think tradition is pretty darn good. And so a big green tree would always be the main festive feature for me. However, sometimes it’s nice to deck the whole house out in decorations and I think today’s tree ideas would be perfect for the children’s rooms. Mainly because they’re on the wall so they’re less likely to get destroyed!

Doodles to cuddles

I first came across the awesome business Child’s Own Studio some time ago, but for some reason never featured it on the blog! My lovely friend Thea reminded me about it and, before I forget again, I’m bringing it to you!

It’s a simple, but brilliant, idea that takes a child’s drawing and turns it into a stuffed toy! Since the first toy, crafter Wendy has made a few hundred and now has so many requests that she’s currently not taking on orders. But don’t worry, she’s kindly set up a Softiemaker Showcase on her website, featuring other crafters that can turn your child’s drawing into a toy.

Have a look at some examples of her work, I think it’s amazing how closely the toys resemble the drawings…

This would make an awesome, unique gift for a relative. Just get your child to draw them a picture and send it off to get it stuffed! Or sneakily send off a drawing for your child. Imagine how exciting it would be when their drawing, in 3D form, arrives in the post?! I love it!
