Egg Yolk Paint
This has become my top cookie decoration technique, it’s fun, the results are beautiful, it doesn’t add sugar to the cookies, the cookies stay crispy, and it’s done once the cookies are out of the oven.

Nancy’s Favourite Playdoh Recipe!
This was sent to me by my friend Nancy, a fellow American here in Edinburgh. If Nancy says this is the best, I’ll look no further. As written this makes more than 1.5kg of playdoh – so you’ll likely want to scale it back.
Bubbles!
Not just soap and water, glycerin creates a moisturising protective layer that slows the evaporation process leading to longer lived bubbles. It’s as good as the stuff from the store, I make my own to keep plastic waste down.
Advent Calendar
Inspired by the Advent calendar my mom made for our family, I cobbled together this one for my family.
Stained glass rainbows (and DIY compass for drawing circles)
With a little prep work away from little busy hands, this was a good activity for our 2 year old who’s now 3. Also includes how to make a DIY compass/circle template.
