St. Nicholas - Sewing can
This can has a Santa's coat on. Alternatively to the boot that is placed in front of the door, you can also use this Santa's can. There is enough space in the can for a chocolate nicolaus, a small apple, nuts and mandarins.
Larger children can also sew this can coat on their own or make it without a sewing machine.
All steps are explained here with sewing machine, but also without sewing machine as pure adhesive work.
At first, only the coat is finished as a stripe of fabric before it is put around the can as a whole at the end. This simplifies the work and makes every step easier. See for yourself how the Santa Claus coat is created.
By the way, the work on the sewing machine for small children is also very exciting to observe and easy holding work can already produce great motivation and curiosity here. So let the smallest ones also participate in how something great is created.
Have fun trying out and making out.

jellyfish (upcycles) (Navi)
This colourful "fasching jelly" is a colorful craft action made of sustainable materials. Uses wool remnants and an empty cardboard roll. Colorful painted this jellyfish looks even more colorful. Children who already master the handling of the scissors can diligently cut threads. For this also a ruler can be helpful for measuring the length. However, the lengths can also vary here.
A strip of double-sided adhesive tape is attached to the inside of the cardboard roll. On this the children can glue the wool threads. Length and distance of the threads play no role for the result.
At the end an adult threads a thread with a needle through the top of the cardboard roll and knots it. The jellyfish can be hung on it. In the air the wool threads move and a nice decoration is ready.
Look at the instructions and try it out yourself. Have fun!
