Pin Family Activities to do in March!
Arts and Crafts
St. Patrick’s Day crafts, inspiration and ideas for some simple DIY World Book Day costumes, and lots of ideas for homemade Mother’s Day cards should keep you busy! It’s also a great time to start getting inspired to do some Spring inspired crafts.

These cute little pipe cleaner bees are super simple to make and very effective.
Gardening
With the nicer weather (hopefully) round the corner, it’s time to think about getting out in the garden and planting up the veggie patch. It is also a great time to introduce gardening to your little ones. Subscription boxes can be a great way to do this if you’re not naturally green fingered yourself.
It is also the start of horticultural show season, and my kids love to enter the children’s classes. There are loads of benefits for children entering the shows, and it’s something I’m really passionate about. Have a read of the blog post to see why.
Oliver really enjoyed this box. He loved the crafts and planting his pea and poppy seeds and watching them grow!ing
Why We should Encourage our Children to Enter Horticultural Shows

The flower paper chains are really pretty#kidsandkreativity@_karendennis
This march has been such a great month for celebrations and things to inspire activities. This is a great list of creative projects! #kidsandkreativity
Those at Patricks cupcakes look fabulous. So creative! They must have taken a while to put together #kidsandkreativity
Love the paper chains – so simple #kidsandkreativity
Some fab ideas Kerry – love the bee pipe cleaners and nothing like handmade Mother’s Day cards of course. I saw an idea the other day which I thought’d I’d share – you buy a white tile, and print out a picture of the kids – glue it to the tile, use sealer and then it makes a great coaster. Think I might try this!
