Fancy making your own Christmas presents and decorations this year? From a woolly winter hat to festive garlands, a sweet lavender doll to felted wool playthings, take a look at these ideas for some inspiration.
In the current edition of The Green Parent magazine we have 14 pages of craft ideas and projects to get stuck into. Amanda Blake Soule shares one of her favourite winter crafts; making a child’s hat from an old jumper and Cher Sievey writes about the importance of dolls in play and shows us how to make simple dolls at home. We also have some magical ideas for Christmas decorations from our readers. Other features include breastfeeding toddlers, woodcraft groups and ideas for a vegetarian Christmas feast.
