Chooks learn what is palatable from their mum and older flock members. Mottle and Flossie are free ranging and didn’t see the rest of the flock in the run dive onto their serve of yoghurt so the kids concluded it was suspect and sticky! 👉 They’ll learn!

How’s this for a cute upcycle inspiration! An op shop tin 👉 which has been lined with pretty fabric to make a sewing box. I bought this one for my best friend but really I wanted it! Such a nice tin would surely encourage people to do their mending!

A behind the scenes secret, we utilise real kids to test make our Kids Pages craft projects. Sometimes, I fear, to our detriment! 👉 Keeping it real means they never look quite the same as the inspiration!
