Product Information

Here at Mini Mad Things, when I'm not busy crafting up a storm with my little ones, I also run a small online shop selling a range of eco-friendly kids ART SUPPLIES, CRAFT BOXES and beautiful art activity BOOKS. All the products that I sell are tried and tested by my awesome team of rigorous quality control experts (my little ones) and we only sell items that we love! For all those kiddos excited by our creepy crawly friends, they'll love these minibeast role-play masks. What would a caterpillar and a butterfly have a natter about? Would the butterfly give him some advice on how to perform the ultimate glow-up in nature, perhaps?

Split pin crafts are brilliant because there’s such a good range of uses for them. In creating the crafts, your children will be developing lots of really important skills, like hand eye coordination, that will benefit them greatly not only in their education, but in other areas of their lives too. If you load up this plastic snake craft with dried beans, it will produce rattling sounds when you are playing with it. You can make this by threading rope through half pieces of plastic Easter eggs that have had holes drilled into them. Begin by drawing around a bottle top on the cardboard. We cut approximately 25 cardboard discs the same size as the milk bottle tops to make the snake body and 5 smaller cardboard discs for the tail. If you want to make your snake longer, just cut more discs!

Here’s a cool snake toy that’s best suited to older learners because they must use a mending needle to thread string through cork pieces. After it’s complete, you can watch them drag around their new pet snake! We love making our own toys using recycled materials. Our wiggly snake friend has been so much loved and played with I had to make another one so the kids could have a snake each. MATERIALS: To begin making your snake, cut a piece of thin cord, approximately 150cm long. Thread the embroidery needle and move it into the middle of the cord. Taking the ends of the cord, thread 4 small plastic beads onto each side and tie knots in the ends to prevent the beads from coming off. Now thread 8 small beads into your needle making a Y shape tongue for the snake. Here are more puppet snakes! You can print colored templates from the link below and have your kids glue parts of the paper together to create the 3D head and finger space. Or, you can print a blank template and have your kids color it in themselves! With Valentine’s Day approaching, this might be the cutest snake craft to try out! Your kids can work on their motor skills as they cut up the heart shapes and glue all of the pieces together.

Using the same template from the previous craft, you can also create this stylish snake embellished with bread clips. This craft involves making a cardboard cutout of the template, following the gluing instructions and then adding the bread clips. Are your children learning about animals?
