Paper bird making
This folded bird is a small fine motor challenge for primary school children, where finger skills are required. It starts with measuring and painting a paper strip with the dimensions 20cm x 2cm. Use a copy paper for this, because this can be easily processed. Then follow the illustrated instructions. Only after the folding you cut the head with beak and the tail feathers.
You can simply put the little bird on a branch or branch without an additional thread for hanging. As an addition to a crafted birdhouse you can make many of these birds in different colors.

Bake ghosts (2 variants)
Bake these sweet ghosts for Halloween or for the carnival party. For each ghost you put a heaped teaspoon of dough on a sheet and bake it for 10 minutes at 160 degrees. Then you brush the smooth side of the baked ghost with a thick white lemon juice glaze and put two eyes of chocolate drops on it. The ghost is ready.
These little ghosts – Americans are made very quickly. If there is little time you can just put small piles of dough on the sheet and decorate them like ghosts. You can find both variants here.
Sand tub for playing (with many ideas)
A mini sandbox for the terrace, balcony or garage. Fill sand in an old tin tub, wash basin or in a large bowl, look for smooth stones, shells, twigs, cones, feathers, corks, etc. Take what you find and discover and create your own little game world. Also small characters from e.g. Lego, Playmobil or Schleichtiere are wonderful.
This incentive is enough to keep the children busy for a long time and to watch them become true inventors. While playing in the sand, we also promote tactile perception.
Get curious and watch what your children discover.

Fishing games with the grilled pliers (variants)
With this funny fishing game your hands only hold the fishing. Through crisscross glued crepe bands you only reach with a long grilled tong into the tub. This requires skill. Also when removing the objects, because the underside of the crepe bands is sticky and the objects can still stick to it when pushing. So be careful when fishing!
This game requires a lot of skill, a lot of concentration, a quiet hand and, on top of that, it's fun. Why don't you bet or use water instead of sand?
Stay creative and have fun above all!
