We have some plaster moulds (mainly with vehicles, dinosaurs, and other animals) we love to play with the kids. Here are some of their works made. I helped to create the shapes, then had to wait for the plaster to dry... next day the kids could paint them. 😊 On this page I found instructions… Continue reading Plaster crafts
These pillows had been on my (quite long) to-do list for a long time. I finished them a few months ago, and since then these pillows are the kids’ favourites.😊 I used yarn “Himalaya Dolphin Baby”, and this was the first time I tried this type, a micro-polyester chenille yarn. I really enjoyed working with… Continue reading Star pillows
My son asked me to make a green owl... he could use as a lovey at sleep time. 😊 After searching among the patterns available, he selected this one by Svart Huset: https://stitchesandsupper.com/2015/04/26/owls-and-balls-decoration-for-baby-carriage-by-svarta-huset/ So as requested, I made a green one: It’s an easy pattern, could finish in a short time. As my son wanted… Continue reading Crocheted owls
A few years ago I made an activity board for my kids. They loved to play with that and as it’s still in use, I decided to renovate it a bit, as some of the parts had broken or fallen off. Originally I took a huge wooden panel, fixed it on the wall, and then… Continue reading Busy boards for kids

My son loves ninjas, and decided to make them using melted beads. He asked me to search for patterns for that, I found these ones: https://www.loganberryhandmade.com/category/cross-stitch/ These are originally cross-stitch patterns, but he could use them perfectly. He worked a lot on them, so when finished, I put his works into picture frames: He has… Continue reading Bead ninja
I had a few posts already about our creations using melted beads, me and my kids actually love this techique, and spent already some hours to play together with these beads. 😊 Today I wanted to show some other pieces my children made: While arranging them to make these photos, I thought it could be… Continue reading Bead pictures
Yesterday I published a post about our work made of fuse beads. While doing that, I remembered that a few years ago, when my son first started to play with these beads, I also made a huge picture. I found that piece on the top of the cupboard (it’s really big, more than 120 cm… Continue reading Bead city

As part of this initiative, my son’s school announced a competition to their students to think and collect their ideas for how to protect our environment. They were looking for craft projects (drawings, paintings, or any other ideas) children… Continue reading Earth day school project
