We were sent a box of crafting items to help us in creating this post. All thoughts and opinions are our own.
I am not the most crafty of people however Jack certainly is. He’s always sitting there making and creating things, drawing and writing. He absolutely adores books too so when we were contacted by Viking to see if we would like to receive a box of crafting items to help us to create some cool crafts for World Book Day, we just had to get involved. You can even see Viking’s own effort here – why not check out Karalee’s creation too?
We were sent stamping ink, an ink pad, A4 paper in multiple colours, Sharpie pens, a paper punch, an A4 gold frame, old book paper and an alphabet stamp kit. There was also a book about Book Art to help with inspiration.
I wasn’t sure what Jack was going to go with – he has a few books/series that he absolutely adores but he has really been into the Harry Potter series lately so it is little wonder he opted for something Harry Potter related.
After sitting down and considering it for a little while, Jack finally had an idea and spent all afternoon putting it together. He used the alphabets stamp, some old book pages, the Sharpie pens and some A4 paper.
The majority of us have read the Harry Potter series and I am pretty sure many of us would love the opportunity to be able to play Quidditch. It is such a fascinating game with plenty of opportunities to score and win. Jack looked up what the different balls – Bludger, Quaffle and the Golden Snitch – and tried to include them all in his craft.
After many hours spent working on it, he finally showed me his creation – this Quidditch waver, complete with the different balls, the word Quidditch, a broomstick and much more!
I think it looks absolutely wonderful and I love that you can see how chuffed he is with the finished result. He does love to work hard on his creations and always strives for perfection. With our move imminent, I know he is super excited to add it to his room and to even add more crafts to the room too!
This was such a fun way to celebrate World Book Day – it is one of our favourite days of the year and Jack always enjoys it. Have you been making any fun bookish crafts recently? What are you doing to celebrate World Book Day?
What a lovely idea for World Book Day! My daughter is the same, very artistic and creative, she certainly doesn’t get that from me! Hope Jack has fun tomorrow for WBD! 🙂 Sim x
I think this is an awesome way to encourage creativity in a child’s mind. My grand daughter would like something like this!
What a lovely way to be creative and celebrate world book day, my Daughter would have loved this when she was younger x
This is such a nice creation, I really want to re-read the Harry Potter books myself as it’s been a long time since I last read them x
Hope you had a great World Book Day! Looks fab and we love what he created! We enjoy Harry Potter books too!
I think Jack’s creation is amazing!! I love how you can give kids a box of “stuff” and they can make their imaginations come alive with it and its always so amazing to see what they come up with! My kids love to craft too and it certainly seems to Jack has a talent for being creative! x
