We’ve been loving the first week of Spring. It’s almost as though the weather knows the date because as of the 1st of September blossoms suddenly appeared in our garden attracting our feathery friends the rainbow lorikeets who like to eat them. The air even smells like Spring because there are lots of other flowers around too – and flowers inspire art and craft in our house. I can’t wait to show you the new ones we’ve been working on but until then I’ve rounded up over 50 colourful flower crafts and activities from around the web. I really enjoyed putting this collection together, the ideas are all so fun and positive. What a perfect way to start September!
