We have just discovered the BEST way to keep the kids busy, give them positive ‘screen time’ and learn some amazing art skills – ARTVENTURE!
If you haven’t heard of Artventure before, it is an online video art lesson platform giving kids the ability to express themselves, extend their art skills and build their confidence. It’s perfect for kids aged 4-12 or for your teenager, their Art Eye Deer program will be perfect. It’s really simple to use – you subscribe (there is a 48hr free trial available too!), choose the lesson and off you go!
There are plenty of lessons to choose from as well (over 470 to be exact!)- firstly you choose lessons from Levels 1 -5. If your child is up for a challenge or wants to hone their skills, choose a higher level. If you have a beginner artist or they just want to relax while they create, choose a lower level. As well as the levels there are themes to choose from such as animals, nature or Olympics, so your child can choose a lesson that aligns with their interest.
Art has such a benefit for kids – A report by Americans for the Arts says “young people who participate regularly in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, to participate in a math and science fair or to win an award for writing an essay or poem than children who do not participate in the arts”.
Artventure is perfect for any household – whether your child does a lesson daily, maybe you homeschool, perhaps you spend time in the school holidays doing art or maybe you are looking for something different to keep the kids occupied when it’s wet outside or when they are sick. It’s not all painting either – if your child wants to up their drawing skills or you can’t face the mess that can come with painting, choose a drawing lesson where all you’ll need is a pencil or texta.
There are 3,6,or 12 month subscriptions available – click on the link below to sign up or do a free trial.

Step away from the plastic, the bells, the lights and the whistles and get back to simple, beautifully made and educational toys. Toys that encourage imaginative and creative play are limitless in the opportunities they present for kids to not only play but learn at the same time. Whether it's drawing with beautiful crayons, solving a puzzle, making music or stacking blocks we've watched our kids try out some of the toys on offer at Oskar's Wooden Ark over the last few months and these are the toys the keep coming back to over and over again. Each time they come up with a new game or way to play and it's incredible to watch those little brains in action. They are SO CLEVER! Below is just a few of the educational toys we've been playing with. All available online from Adelaide based toy store Oskar's Wooden Ark. If you haven't had a look at this website, wait until the kids are in bed, make yourself a cuppa and dedicate a good 10 minutes to scroll. A beautiful collection of toys on a very easy to use website. Kitpas Crayons When is a crayon not a crayon? When it's a…

The leaves are beginning to slowly change colour, which can mean only one thing, autumn is on it’s way! Autumn is the season of colour, and by far my favourite. I remember I used to go out of my way to step on a crunchy leaf, and for some reason it still brings out the child in me! These activities have been created with young children and preschoolers in mind, but they’re equally as satisfying for older age groups too (ahem, even really big kids at heart!). They’re easy and quick to put together and especially great for keeping those toddlers busy while you get something else done, or better yet, sit down and have a cuppa, or read that magazine you bought three weeks ago that’s still sitting on the kitchen counter! Contact Art You will need: Clear contactBlack card or brown paper, cut into a trunk and then some branch shapes. Homemade leaves (you could pre paint/fingerpaint some autumn colours with your child and cut it into leaf shapes)Or craft leaves from a variety shopSticky tape To begin… Cut some contact off the roll and round off the top. Then pull off the paper backing. Stick this (with…
