Baker Ross -halloween crafts -

Now that Bodhi is in full time school i often find the time after school but before dinner is a hard one to fill, He is worn out from school and will most of the time ask for the iPad or cartoons but this week he has been very happy to come home and do a Halloween themed craft from Baker ross. 

Baker Ross is an online arts & crafts shop that isn't only for school/club uses they have a great range of items in a whole host of themes . We was very kindly sent a box full of amazing things to make and do all around the up coming Halloween and also Autumn items ( this post will be up in a week or so ) 

The Halloween range has 20% off until Friday the 14th the prices are really good value and you can buy in classroom / club sizes at an even lower cost. 

The 1st craft Bodhi wanted to do was the Halloween themed dotty art kit ( £3.99 pack of 8 or £14.72 pack of 32 ) 

•  7 assorted sticker colours - Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple & Pink
• Choose your own colours from the sheets provided
• Each pack of 8 sheets includes 16 sheets of dotty stickers

• 8 assorted designs - Monster, Spider, Cat, Ghost, Pumpkin, Owl, Bat & Skull
• Each design sheet measures approx. 28cm x 21cm
• A fun Halloween activity for class or home

Bodhi really enjoyed this craft as he could do it all by himself and i love the face that is wasn't messy! 

We then moved on to Day of the dead colour in gift bags. ( These are now 40% off ! at only £1.49 for the 6 pack or £6.99 for 30 ) 

• 3 assorted handle colours - Pink, Green & Orange
• Design is printed on both sides of bag
• 3 assorted designs

• Bag size 12cm x 8.5cm
• Bags are gusseted and come with coloured carry handles
• Decorate with our fibre tip pens or Deco pens (not included)
• A must for little trick or treaters

We also used the felt tips that we was sent in our box another bargain at only £1.98 for a pack of 3 perfect if hosting a party or event, Bodhi really wants to have a Halloween party this year , these little gift bags would not only be a great thing to do with the child but they could then also use them to take home a few treats and sweets. 

Then lastly we made a haunted house photo frame, once again you had everything you needed in the kit so again these would be perfect for a party/school/club activity ( again these are on a great sale price ATM £1.99 for a pack of 5 or £10.99 for 30 ) 

• No glue required
• Each kit includes foam photo frame template, self-adhesive foam pieces and self-adhesive magnet
• 5 ghoulish designs featuring Vampire, Frankenstein’s Monster, Mummy, Skeleton & Witch

• House frames measure 12cm wide
• Display on a fridge or any metal surface
• Instruction sheet included

I love just how simple all of the Baker ross items are Bodhi had no trouble with these projects and he is 4 1/2 I will be stocking up on a few more bits to keep him happy over the halloween half term. 

All Things Crafty subscription box review

We have been sent an all things crafty box via the post and i was super impressed with first impression and the over all look of the box, i filmed a unboxing and first impression over on my youtube ( watch it now ) we have tried monthly craft boxes before this is the first one i would re-order

Each month is themed with may theme being sports and games, the six photos below are of the six different craft projects. i love how they came in different coloured bags with everything you needed inside. Bodhi couldn't wait to get crafting and one afternoon i had a horrid headache so it seemed like a perfect time to hand over to Daddy with the box in hand they spend well over an hour colouring / sticking and making the projects. 

The thing i loved the most about these little projects was the fact that they needed very little adult help, i left Bodhi making his football coaster while i started dinner and when i came back into the room he was done! he was so pleased with himself and i will be placing an order for another box for the up coming summer holidays. 

I also think these boxes would be great for a child who is poorly or in hospital as everything you need for the crafts are provided , also be ideal for holidays away/camping/visiting family or something to do on a wet dull afternoon. 

Boxes are £7.99 per month but this price does get lower if you buy in bigger volumes of boxes ( I.e for siblings or groups / school ) it is a monthly subcribion box but you can cancel when you like your not tied in on a contract. 

thank you once again All things crafty for gifting us this box we have very much enjoyed reviewing it !
