Gruffalo Craft Idea For Story Time

Hi friends! Did you miss seeing my daily posts on the blog the last few days?

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’ll be sharing a “look back” post in the next few days about my experience at SNAP {and a giveaway from my swag bag} but today it’s time to get back into the routine of sharing some fun crafts on the blog. 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!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies so you can create this “adorable” little Gruffalo monster with your child and display it proudly on the fridge today Happy crafting my friends!!!
