 Each year at Easter, I like to give gifts of a crafty nature to the young ones in my life. Something that they can work on over the holidays that isn’t made from chocolate. I’ve recently begun searching for something lovely, and stumbled upon these felt plush sewing kits from Wooli Mochi. I’m thinking of gifting one to myself!
Oh, and if you’d like to learn how to make your own needle felted toys, Wooli Mochi has kits for that too! School holidays are a magical time when you’re a kid. They are filled with endless possibilities and a new found freedom that makes you feel like you can take on the world! Today I’ve invited the lovely Deni Fowle from Free Range Living to drop by and share some crafty ideas for the entertaining the family over the Christmas break. Take it away Deni!
1. Origami Paper Ball Kit by Paperklip
2. Make a sock monkey with Squiggly Monkeys
3. Paint your own postcards with Amor Amor
4. Give your bedroom a make over with My Poppet
5. Sail the seven seas with 100s + 1000s

You can find more craft ideas and some easy to follow tutorials to do at home with the kids over at the Free Range Living blog.
About Deni Fowle, aka Mrs Chicken. You may remember Deni from her beautiful online children’s store, Cheeky Chickies, which she opened in 2006 whilst on maternity leave with her first born, Amalia. This was Deni’s first step into the children’s product industry, and seemed to be a welcome change from her work as an adolescent psychologist within youth mental health and juvenile justice settings. Deni’s new project, which she runs with her sister Loren Zoka, is called Free Range Living; an emporium of beautifully handcrafted Australian hand made and eco-friendly gifts, fashion and homewares. You can visit Deni and peruse her lovely collection online, or visit her on Facebook for all the latest news. Happy Monday my craft loving friends! It’s time to get your creative juices flowing with some super fun projects to create or covet. Whether you prefer to buy it, or diy it, these little lovelies are sure to bring out your inner designer. I quite adore the DIY crocheted clock in the second row, it’s kitsch-tastic! Now, if only I knew how to crochet…
