Fingerprint Flower Cookies

If it involves flowers, you know we're going to love it—and when they're in the form of a sweet treat, we're completely obsessed! These adorable fingerprint flower cookies are a creative twist on a classic shortbread recipe.

Simply use any basic shortbread dough (butter, sugar, eggs, salt, vanilla, and flour), and press a flower shape into each cookie with the end of a wooden spoon handle.

Fill the impressions with your favourite jam before baking, and you'll have a delightful treat, perfect for a cosy tea party with your little one.

A Playful Cubby

Nothing sparks children's imagination quite like a cubby, and this one looks like such fun! While this incredible creation by @mama_tinka may look a little daunting, it's really just a spectacular combination of cardboard and tape. While we can certainly aim for such beauty, let's remember that the real joy lies in the creative process—building something new together with our little ones.

A Homemade Postbox

Remember receiving letters as a child? There was something wonderfully magical about a finding a message or parcel had arrived seemingly out of nowhere with your name on it. - That’s why our Daughter packages are sent in fun, flowery mailers—so little girls can experience that twinkling joy of finding something special has arrived especially for them!

On the next cold and rainy day, turn an empty cereal box into a homemade postbox by cutting a hole and decorating it. Then, let your little one's imagination take flight: they might write letters to themselves, their stuffed toys, or loved ones; or perhaps they'll enjoy playing the role of "Postie" (as we call a postwoman or postman in Australia). A simple craft like this can lead to hours of fun and practical skill development.

Veggie Stamps

Turn a simple sweet potato into a fun and creative afternoon activity! Slice a sweet potato into 2-3cm rounds, and with a safety knife, assist your little one in cutting each slice into various shapes. Feel free to add patterns or textures to the flat surfaces of the sweet potato to give your stamps some texture.

Then, gather an array of paint colours and enjoy an afternoon of pattern-making. You might even want to help your little one create stamped wrapping paper or cards, perfect for gift giving.
