Fest: Decoration

These fir trees are quickly crafted with children and they look particularly individual and original due to their different sizes and shapes. Even younger children can paint and cut the triangles for the fir trees. Tree trunks in different lengths can be easily glued afterwards.

Tip: A few dark green trees are set highlights and loosen up the overall picture of the tree rows.
Have fun trying it out!

Aluminium snow crystals

These snow crystals sparkle and shimmer. They are made from round aluminium lids of dairy products. Cleaned and smooth painted you can use these for these enchanting snow crystals.
For this purpose, the aluminium cover is folded four times in half. Then you paint the cut line with a pencil. Make sure that the closed edge remains.
With the scissors you start to cut the open side with the one. Then you carefully fold the crystal apart again. Finally, you brush the finished snow crystals smoothly painted and hang them on the window, on a picture or on a branch.
Enjoy the idea of using packaging waste for handicrafts and making something beautiful out of it!

Don't these fir cone bodies look cute? In itself, this handicraft work is not a big deal, yet requires some dexterity and manual skill.

If you want to do the crafting as an upcycle project, you can use old clean felt cloths for your wicker hats. Alternatively, new felt wipes or thin craft felt are also suitable.

Hand Dragon "to fly yourself"

A dragon that doesn't hang on a string! For small children it is not yet possible to let the dragon rise with a kite line. You must be able to take the dragon into your hand. This hand dragon is ideal for this. Through the corresponding folding it has a kind of "pocket" in which the child can push the whole hand and thus take the dragon as with a hand puppet. With large arm movements the dragon moves and dances. Frings on the sides of the dragon and a dragon tail make the dragon "live" look.
Try it out, the kids will love it.
