About me
I’m Maysa, a mum of two in Amman, Jordan. My daughter is eight and my son is six, and when it rains we stay in and make something at the dining table: a blanket fort, a paper animal, a cardboard rocket or a paper lantern.
I post a new craft every Sunday. Most use paper, cardboard and things we already have. I sell the printable craft templates we use, a supplies list, a rainy-day activity calendar and two short video courses.
