At frosty temperatures you can create beautiful ice lights. All you need is a cake shape with a hole in the middle and natural material, such as a few nuts, leaves, beech eggs, rose hips or heather. What you find in nature can be used. After everything is frozen you can put a candle in it. This makes the ice shine.
The same can also be done with snow. However, you decorate the snow cake only after baking. See for yourself!
Icelights & Snowcake
octopus from PET bottle
A funny octopus from a plastic bottle that can jump, hop and dance!
You will need a large empty clean plastic bottle and a few wobble eyes. The bottom of the bottle is cut off and the bottle cut from the bottom to the top into narrow strips. With the help of the warmth of a candle, the plastic pulls together. The tentacles are created. A rubber band in the lid allows the octopus to dance.
Have fun.
A great offer for older children, who are able to observe the effect of heat (physical processes) well while at the same time being allowed to experiment themselves.
Bottle lights
It is very holy with these beautiful star lights.
Pick out beautiful bottles, remove the labels and clean them. Then put a motif foil around the belly of the bottle. With a bottle light chain you conjure the lighting into the bottle.
We used a 3-D film here, which breaks the light and makes the stars sparkle.

Collect elderflowers – Tea, syrup, lemonade
On long walks through nature we collect herbs. The children are on the way with the balance bike, so they create slightly longer distances. The breaks for collecting herbs are a welcome change. We collect elderflowers in May and June and dry them to drink them later as tea. You can also make elderflower syrup or elderflower lemonade. The children get to know nature. They get to know the plants and distinguish them in their scent, taste and purpose.
Cardboard cover color twist
This game has it in itself: learn colors, coordinate hands and feet while still keeping the balance. A game in which a lot is laughed and many people sink to the ground. All you need for it are colored cardboard covers, a few shoes and a few gloves and a drumstick as a pointer.
Have fun!
Filled bottles for children's celebrations
Birthday decoration: fills bottles with sweets, then they become interesting for kids. The kids can also help here and bring in their ideas for a table decoration. Here are some ideas that are also suitable for giftgiving.
Mini vase for smallest bouquets
Who doesn't know this when little children arrive with picked flowers, but no vase is small enough for them to find a suitable place appreciatively. Often a brandy glass has to hold here??
Vase with buttons
A glass vase or a beautiful empty bottle are decorated with buttons! Also as a gift for Mother's Day…
Bottles become vases
This adventure can be realized without great preparation. This quickly creates a beautiful gift idea. For this, decorate with a fresh flower or a flowering branch, a loop around it and ready is a beautiful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or birthday.
