Free Felted Dove Tutorial

Since last week I have had this felt dove tutorial in my free downloads section of my website. I made it for Whit Sunday and it was so lovely receiving messages with everyone’s doves they really brought a smile to my face.

I thought I would post a link here o my feed for you all, after all this pattern could be used to create a myriad of birds with a little adaptation.

To download the free tutorial, click on the free downloads section and it is under Arts and Craft.

I hope you have fun creating your own beautiful array of birds from this pattern! Please don’t forget to share your beautiful work.

Cook up a medieval inspired feast!

As part of our Medieval Block a couple of weeks ago I thought it would be fun to live history and make a medieval feast. Now I cannot lay claim to these recipes they are from an amazing website called ’Cook it‘ which has recipes from so many historical periods and is an amazing resource for anyone wanting to bring history to life.

Pumpes (meatball) recipe

Girdle Bread recipe

Traditionally the Girdle Bread would have used Ale as a raising agent but we decided that yeast would be better for the children, I am going to try Ale though for myself and my husband one day. The meatballs were so surprisingly tasty and the bread I have now added to my collection of essential recipes as it had a wonderful fluffy texture and would be equally great with Middle Eastern dishes which we love in this house with my husband being of half Iranian.

Have a try and please share if you do!

The Story of the Little Bee

A simple story for under threes, you can recreate this at home just using finger play and your hands, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Stories at this age can be simple rhymes and should support the child's discovery of the world around them.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy.
