Crafting with Kaisercraft

February 19 2013 By melbournemamma 2 Comments

I was recently sent a voucher to go along and check out the fabulous new Kaisercraft outlet at Uni Hill Factory Outlet in Bundoora.

 

When I told the kids we were going shopping for some craft supplies, they were bouncing off the walls.

 

When we got to the store, I didn’t know where to begin. There was so much to look at and everything looked so good.

 

 

I figured I could stock up on some items to do projects with the kids, so I let them wander around and pick out some things they liked.

 

My daughter loves butterflies, so she quickly found these butterfly silhouette wall art.

 

 

All we did was paint the boards white and stick some scrap booking paper behind the top layer. Then we glued the layers together.

 

This was one of the EASIEST craft projects we have ever done πŸ™‚

 

 

Yes, it really was that easy. And the final result was gorgeous (now I just need to sweet talk hubby in to letting me put more things on the wall πŸ˜‰ )

 

 

Next on the project list was something fun for my 2 yr old son to do.

 

He picked out some wooden animals and a stack of new paints (all $1 each).

 

 

And he was so proud of himself for painting them all without mummy’s help (or interference).

 

The animals have now taken up residence by the lake generally occupied by some dinosaurs. I hope they don’t mind.

 

 

My daughter also loves birds, so we grabbed a wooden bird house kit as well.

 

 

For this one we used the same paints that we used for the animals, but your could also cover this with paper.

 

This one now takes pride of place in my daughter’s bedroom and is “apparently” home to a bird family.

 

 

Sometimes I dread doing craft project with the kids because they quickly lose concentration and I end up spending more time setting up and packing up, than actually doing the activity.

 

Not this time though. All these projects were quick and easy, and hardly made any mess (woohoo!)

 

We’re looking forward to doing some Easter projects with the gorgeous Easter papers I bought on the day.

 

If you or your little ones love craft then definitely pop down to the Kaisercraft outlet. It’s open everyday from 10am-6pm and there’s plenty of undercover parking right under the centre.

 

The Kaisercraft outlet is conveniently located right next to the escalator, so need need to drag the kids through the whole complex but feel feel to check out the other fab store while you’re there. While we were there a pair of Clarks school shoes (for my daughter) and a new Sheridan quilt cover (for me), accidentally fell in with my shopping – oopsΒ  πŸ˜‰

 

Kaisercraft will also be running kid’s craft workshops during the school holidays, so make sure you sign up for their newsletter to receive all the details.

    Thank you for posting your visit to Kaisercraft at Uni Hill Bundoora, I have been wanting to go to the store at Chadstone Shopping Centre but couldn’t be bothered in the long drive, the hassle of parking and then traipsing through Chadstone to find (and knowing me I would have parked at the opposite end!!) all with three children…..
    Now I can visit the Uni Hill store. I am so excited I think I might head there tomorrow without the kids. Don’t tell them ssshhhhh……
    Many thanks again, enjoy your day.
    Ohh read your story from the Kids Confidential link.

      So glad you liked it Suze. You AND the kids are going to love it. Make sure you park in the underground carpark (entry is behind the shopping centre) and then just go up the escalator – you can’t miss it. Let me know how you go, Tracey πŸ™‚

This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves together the stories of a Cypriot family across generations. 

Set against the backdrop of the Cyprus conflict, the book explores love, loss, and the enduring power of nature 🌳

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

β€œTwo teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.

In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart.

Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus Carica growing in the back garden of their home.”
