If you did, I sure hope you were following along on Instagram to see what I was up to! Let’s just say the SNAP Conference was pretty amazing and I’m so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone to attend it. Lots of interaction with brands, friends and of course – great info! It was really worth it, super fun and I hope I get to go again in the near future {maybe even add some other conferences under my belt soon too!}

I’m kicking it all off with this FUN Paper Plate Gruffalo craft idea and like always – it’s super fun, inexpensive and great for children of ALL ages. Not to mention, it goes along perfectly with the childhood favorite book “The Gruffalo” by Julia Donaldson, making this is a great excuse to craft together and have story time at the same time!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
