Hello! Thanks for visiting us! We are Louise & Jenni!
You know those mothers who spend way too much time on their kids Easter bonnet? The ones who keep a ‘rainy day’ stash of glue sticks and pipe cleaners right next to the egg cartons they hoard like nobody’s business? Well, that’s us!
We are two craft-loving, play dough-making mums who want our kids to look back on their childhood years and say “wow, we had fun!” Plus, we are addicted to craft. There’s also that.
In 2013, we launched our blog, Paging Fun Mums. And, what began as a way for us to document the craft activities we do with our children, has evolved into a fun, dynamic space for mothers and parents alike.
Today, Paging Fun Mums has a strong (and growing) audience, subscription base and social media fan base. More than just a large following, we’ve created a community of mothers who have joined (shared, liked and pinned) us on our crafty adventures. After all, kids learn through play and what better way to learn than with super fun craft activities, right?
We aim for our kids to look back on their childhood and think “man we had fun!” So channel your inner crafter, photographer, cook, artist, decorator and designer and join us on the journey to being the funnest Mummy you can be!
Any questions or ideas? Please contact us.
Our PO address is:
PO BOX 5673 Maroochydore BC QLD 4558
Have a Fun Day!
Hey Louise and Jenni, thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I love visitors and your thoughts. keep on crafting =)
Louise and Jenni, I just love this!! I live in Sequoia National Forest in California and have the same mission for my daughter: to look back and say “I HAD FUN!!” It is wonderful that you have each other so close. I live in such a remote part of the mountains that there aren’t really other people to live close to. I would love to have a best friend right across the dirt-4-wheelin’-forest-service road that I live on 🙂
I would love for you to check out my blog of homeschooling kid’s projects if you have the time or interest. Take good care!
Cheers, Karen

I saw your playdough recipe &decided to make it, very soft, was wondering if you need to keep it in the fridge like the other playdough, thanks:)
We store ours in the fridge because our climate is hot so the kids enjoy playing with the cool dough. Louise x

Love your ideas. I used to be a fun mom who made lots of playdough, craft projects and science fair projects with my kids. Now I’m a fun grandmother who can’t wait for my grandson to get old enough to play with. (He’s only 3 weeks old now.) I’ll be watching for new ideas.
You have such wonderful and simply adorable projects. Could you please add me to your friend list because I want to get all your ideas so I can do them with my grandchildren for keepsakes.

Hi Jenni and Louise!!

Hi Ladies!!! I am currently 16 with my 3rd child on the way, due to me being pregnant I haven’t been able to spoil my kids as much as usual. Your craft ideas have really inspired me to create fun for my little ones. Carlos and Luigi have been the easter bonnets and the egg carton catipillars. It has really bonded us between work and me finishing highschool.
Loving regards,
Rachlehna
