8/ A bubbles bottle

Instead of endlessly buying wands for your children to blow bubbles, make an XXL version with a plastic bottle covered with a sock. Plunge the lot into a bowl of soapy water and amaze your little rascals.

9/ A snowman door stopper

Fill a sock with rice and knot it twice with a little string (using the same technique for making the rabbit soft toy in number 1 above). Once you have formed the head and the body, have fun decorating it. You can customise the character to make a seasonal decoration, to make a child’s soft toy or add a little weight to make a door stopper.
