Mrs Fox's May Crafty Box was all about growing things. And two of our clever little crafty foxes have emailed us a picture of their herbs already growing.

Along with the seeds, decorating a growing chart and making a dragonfly mobile this box contained a recipe for savoury muffins, which includes the use of fresh herbs.   The recipe is one that we use at home quite often, great for breakfast and a clever way to sneak a few extra veggies into the little foxes diets.  I got the recipe years ago from our friend Rachel, so we call them Rachie Rach's Scrumptious Savoury Muffins.  And don't they look great baked in the little pots we gave our little foxes for their seeds.

If you would like to join the fun and subscribe to Mrs Fox's kid's craft box scheme follow the link here for more details.  They cost £10.50 a month +p&p, or you can buy individual boxes for £12, but we only make a few extras so you have to get in there quick.
