Bathing salt cunts

This small bath salt sponge is easy to make yourself. This is a gift without much material, ideal for upcycling. Fill bath salt in a nice narrow glass and close it. Then you make a funny cap out of an old knit sock. With a piece of your sock you conjure up a scarf, two wobble eyes and a Styrofoam ball on it and finished is a magical little gift.
You don't have all the materials at home? No problem, as always I have some alternatives for you!

Wait-time bars

For small children, time is not yet a term they can start with. "How long does it take until & #8230;?" or "When does it finally come & #8230;?" or "How often do I have to sleep until & #8230;?" How often do we parents hear these questions?
To illustrate the time of waiting for the children, I made this waiting-time bar.
It is used in a variety of ways. For example, when waiting for a upcoming football game, the start of the holiday, the tingling anticipation of the birthday, when waiting for a celebration, such as the lantern festival, Easter or Christmas.
I only made this bar with 24 days to use it for the Advent season. Moreover, hardly a child can cover the period until the day of joy months before. Therefore, long 24 days for us. But you can also make a bar with 31 days! This is especially ideal if the birthday of the child is one day after the 24th day of the month!

Gymnastics with cuddly animals

Cuddly animals are important companions for many children. Therefore, look for your cuddly animals for this adventure, put them all in a laundry basket and don't forget your favorite cuddly animal. Then it can start.

Sew candle

We sew a candle. A piece of foam pipe insulation serves as filling. As a wick we use a piece of a branch and on it is inserted a sewn flame. The candle is also suitable for sewing beginners, look at the illustrated instructions.
This candle can be used in many ways, e.g. as first sewing projects for primary school children or as learning material for crib children or as decoration during Advent or for birthdays. See for yourself.

See old children's photos together

Take a look at photos from your own childhood, e.g. from mom, dad or grandma, grandpa together with the children. Kuschelte each other and dive into a past time.

Collect caps and lids of any kind and color. From this you can make beautiful free gifts, such as these candlesticks. For this, stack the lids together as towers. Then glue your creation together with a hot glue gun piece by piece. At the end you put a large tea light or a stump candle on it and your upcycle gift is ready!
