Two mummies working from home… with a 3-year-old to entertain! Follow our adventures and get ideas for things to do with your own little ones in this blog!

No. 6 Make a Pirate Ship

Ahoy! It’s Pirate week! Still got a steady flow of cardboard boxes?.... Become a Sea Rover and get pirate savvy!

No. 7 Make an Anchor and Flag

Get ready to set sail with an anchor and raise the main sail with a Jolly Roger pirate flag!

No. 8 Playdough Pirate Animals

Every pirate needs a parrot for a bucko… or walk the plank and take a swim with Bruce the shark!

No. 9 Pirate Play

Shiver me timbers matey, belay the booty! From mermaids to treasure, sharks to deserted islands, let your imagination run wild with some good olde pirate play!

No. 63 Treasure Hunt

This game is a homemade version of Swashbuckle’s Shipwreck Rummage. Hide ‘treasure’ around the garden or house, then take close-up pictures of their hidden location. Your little pirates must try to spot clues in the pictures to work out where the treasure is hidden!

No. 78 Apple Bobbing

This is a Pirate-themed version of apple bobbing. Make your seaweed out of ripped up bin bags and green ribbon.

No. 22 UPDATE Dalek Box Craft

It’s taken three weeks, but the Dalek is finally finished! Carboard, tape, foam, plastic balls, glue, paint, kitchen utensils and a BBQ kettle lid - this was a zero cost project!

No. 86 Eurovision

We couldn’t let this week pass without a few snaps of Eurovision! A chance to dress up, sing your heart out and dance yourself silly to the best in cheesy euro-pop!
