Welcome back to the Kids and Kreativity linky party! This is a linky for all your blog posts that encourage creativity or inspire imagination in children. They can be about anything from baking with kids, messy play ideas, childrens’ crafts, book reviews, days out, travel…. you name it! Anything that gets the creative juices flowing, or sparks kids’ wonderful imaginations can be linked up.
I have decided to keep the linky going on a monthly basis, as it seems to be working well at the moment. So the linky will stay open for 3 weeks and go live every 4 weeks.
How is everyone? I for one am glad that it is now half term here in the UK and we can all take a break from homeschooling. Although in lockdown we’ve been getting out and about for walks, and the kids obviously loved playing in the snow we had earlier in the week.
The Last #KidsandKreativity Linky
There were a total of 8 posts linked up, which is great, especially as I know a lot of you like myself are juggling a lot at the moment.
As a reminder the minimum amount of commenting is still one of the host posts and two other posts of your choosing per post you link up. That’s 3 comments minimum per post. So if you link up two blog posts you need to make a minimum of 6 comments, which may mean popping back towards the end of the linky when more posts have been added.
As a side note, if you have already read a post through another linky, still pop back and comment with the #KidsandKreativity hashtag- it still counts!
Top commenter again was Little Hearts, Big Love who shared thier post on taking on the 1000 hours outside challenge, which sounds like a fantastic challenge to get us all to spend more time outside.
My favourite post was from Booberrit, who shared their Ice Decorations. Such a simple but fun craft for this time of year, and one we defintely want to try.
This Week’s #KidsandKreativity Linky
This time I am sharing 2 craft posts. The first is suitable for older children and adults a like and is my DIY Twine Heart, the second suitable for children of all ages How to Make Chinese Paper Lanterns using a toilet roll and some card stock.
I would still really love to see some more of you over in the Facebook group, new faces and my regulars a like. I would still like to grow the community around this linky so we can support each other in other ways, I know I’ve been slack but I will try harder!
I have also created a Kids and Kreativity twitter list for anyone that has joined in with the linky this year. It just makes it easier to see each others content to RT and share. If your not on the list and want to be then just let me know!
I will also continue to pin all the posts from the linky to my #KidsandKreativity board on Pinterest, and I often pin from that board to my other boards. Pinterest is my biggest platform, so make sure your posts have lovely eye catching vertical pins in them to get maximum exposure.
For all those linking up for the first time, have a read through the linky information and rules, but if you have any questions just message me.
Linky Information
This linky will open on a Friday every 4 weeks, and will stay open for 3 weeks.
Please, please, please make sure you finish your commenting by 7pm on the fourth Thursday and make sure you add the #KidsandKreativity to your comments. This helps me keep track of the comments, and make sure everyone is doing the minimum amount of commenting. Please DO NOT link up and run, it’s not fair on others, and is not what this linky is about.
This linky party is all about creating a nice community of like minded bloggers, and increasing exposure to blog posts that might inspire people. So feel free to comment away and share posts that you love. The more that you put into the linky, the more that you will get out.
