I&#8217;m Louise, a mama with a love of crafting and creating all sorts of things with the little ones over the years. While two of my &#8216;little ones&#8217; are now quite big, I still have my youngest who has thankfully inherited the crafting bug too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Printables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that I love to share are the printables that I design myself using programs such as Affinity Designer and Canva. I love making printables for little ones that help them learn and have fun at the same time! Many of these printables I originally sold on Etsy and they are now being offered here free for your personal use. If you enjoy using these pages, please send me a comment as I love receiving feedback on my work \u2665 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arts &amp; Crafts Tutorials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve loved crafting from a very young age, thanks to parents who always generously supported my creativity, and I&#8217;ve enjoyed sharing that with my own children. I&#8217;ll be posting lots of crafting tutorials from our projects over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that the arts and fostering a creative spirit are so important for a healthy, happy life and I love seeing that creativity blossom in children. I hope that you will enjoy doing some of these projects with your own little ones, creating things you love and many happy memories together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.\u201d &#8211; Pablo Picasso<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each post on this blog is completely written by a real person! For some images I use an image generator to place the craft in context to show you how it can be enjoyed. You&#8217;ll recognize these images by the children drawing ambidextrously, haha, or the text being slightly garbled! Since I&#8217;m a one-woman show, this cuts down on the amount of time I need to take to make &#8216;product photos&#8217; and more time on doing the stuff I love most &#8211; making crafts and printable pages for you and your kiddos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Merry Little Makers!
