Hello! I hope you enjoyed the Blog Hop - it was great fun to be part of - especially as we all created such different things!
It’s my turn today on It's a Creative World and it’s the start of the Easter holidays here in the UK. Finding things to do with the children can be a real bind sometimes but this is a project that could form the basis of a really fun holiday-long game (it certainly will in our house!)
Children love playing imaginatively and if your young people like to pretend to be spies why not start them off with a secret hidey-hole? My eldest, Freya (11), actually made the one in the step-by-step photos so you know it’s possible (her brother Tom’s (9) is the one on the right!!!).
Talking of spy paraphernalia you could always make ID badges, disguises, newspapers with eye holes, secret codes, spy missions…. I have so many ideas!
I hope you have a great Easter holiday filled with much creativity!
