Make a rose durable by dipping it into wax. We tried it and were amazed how easy it is. Look at the instructions and try it out ourselves.
When diving into hot wax, the rose loses a bit of its bright color. However, if you use a dark red rose and the same color wax, the color will remain. Let an adult help you handle hot wax to avoid burns. Have fun!
Make Wax Rose Your Own
Hanging bat (with template)
This sweet bat finds place on a branch. It hangs through its legs of pipe cleaners. The bat makes it out of a black painted toilet roll. The wings consist of clay paper and equipped with two wobble eyes the bat is already finished. This adventure is also suitable for craft beginners.
Makes the bat for example as decoration for the next Halloween party, for carnival, children's birthday party or for the summer party in the garden. On lukewarm summer evenings fly often bats. Watch children these, this stimulates the children to craft. Have fun!
Leave ships for playing and experimenting
All you need for this are leaves, a small wooden stick and a piece of styrofoam. The ships are dedicated to experimenting and playing. For example, the children can find out how many figures fit on a ship before it sinks or how big the piece of styrofoam must be so that the ship swims. Look at yourself and let yourself be surprised how long children play with the leaves and what ideas they develop.
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.
Stone faces
Wherever there are many stones, you can experience this adventure. Be it on the pebble or stone beach, by the sea, lake or river or in the garden. All you need are stones of different sizes. Then it can also start. Besides building beautiful stone towers, laying funny faces especially for smaller children is a great occupation.
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!
The Cooking Spoon Game – The Cooking Spoon King
For this simple game, use your household items. For example, put old cooking spoons into the meadow and try to hit them with infeed rubbers (cooking rings).
Make a competition out of it and constantly change the positions of the cooking spoons, so you increase the difficulty level and have motivation and ambition to continue playing. Maybe you also choose a cooking spoon king? How this works, you will find out in the instructions.

These magic flowers made of paper are a small craft work, which can be used for games and actions. Each child first makes a paper flower. Paint it colorfully and write an action on it.
