Beautiful thistles always make me think of Scotland. This pom pom thistle is a fun and speedy craft to make and is a great way to celebrate St Andrews Day with the kids.
It's a fab introduction to making pom poms and they look beautiful finished up in bottle on the shelf or pinned to a memo board.

Is there anything more majestic than a Highland cow?
That gorgeous shaggy mane is captured in this craft and is sure to inspire lots more highland cow themed mixed-media art. Felt is wonderfully tactile for children and gives a lovely sensory feel to this project.

This project is great for younger children as the cutting and ripping up of the elements for the mosaic is good for honing those all important fine motor skills. It's also a fabulous stash buster, and there's something very therapeutic about sorting through you stash and selecting all the same colours.
What better way to celebrate St Andrews Day than creating a Scottish fabric paper flag with your kids.
