Create your own crazy colourful emu with our cute free printable template of the emu eyes, beak and a fine guide for the neck. Prints onto standard A4 or it's fine to blow up a little bigger to A3 like we did here. Available from the free downloads section.

Just in time for Christmas we've got a new fun, festive and educational free download. Kids give the polar bear an ugly sweater by adding in lines of repeating patterns. You can draw them, stick on sequins, or here we even used pom poms! A cute project to help with pattern recognition. Print onto A4 or letter sized paper, or easily blows up to larger sizes if you prefer.

Are we alone? Be inspired by an other-worldly trend we're seeing more of lately - flying saucers.
Here are some other alien ideas we love - a UFO made of a paper plate, half of an acrylic ball and a pom pom. A fun kids activity great for party decorations too. Delicious looking UFO cupcakes by Donna Hay. The recipe is no longer available but you can use this very similar step by step on Sweetest Kitchen.

With Halloween just around the corner I had to share this great idea for pumpkin decorating! If you're familiar with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's work you'll probably know about her pumpkin sculptures, but I just loved this idea from handmadecharlotte as it combined that with her instillation work - the obliteration room. Paint a pumpkin white, cover it with colourful sticker dots! Love it.

With Easter just around the corner I thought I'd design another FREE printable, this time an Easter bunny treat cone for collecting all those little eggs in.

Instructions:

4. Go hunting for yummy treats

After a couple of weeks working on some new bathroom designs and octopus illustrations I decided to put together this quick kids craft project. It’s the perfect way to practice basic scissor skills with some simple straight lines to cut along.

Instructions:

1. Visit the free download section of the shop and print out the PDF template
2. Cut around the outside of the template (parents may want to do this for smaller children) then cut along the dashed lines to create the legs
3. Glue or tape the tab into place
4. Curl the legs out so you octopus can sit down
