Craft with kids - sticky exercise

Love, love, love this website - no time for flash cards - where you can find fun and easy activities to do with your kids by age and a section to teach them the alphabet and the numbers.

We've tried the  toddler butterfly craft with the shapes of a train and a car, it was a sucess (^-^)

My lille limón

My lille limón, a new webshop that has just opened this summer, with a fantastic selection of products for babies/toddlers/children and their environmentally conscious mothers, fond of cuteness :-)

Here you can organise your party or find the perfect gift

Boys Month: Boden T-shirt DIY - the Pteranodon

A friend of mine introduced me to these super cool t-shirts from Boden, I especially liked the one with the dinosaur walking in the streets of London, so here is my quick DIY using freezer paper to make the skyline.

So I used the drawing from Arne Jacobsen

Dress and shirt tags

Origami dress tutorial from "How about orange"

Shirt tutorial from YT "zgrandmakaren"

Ice cream fabric

To make the summer come to DK..., from a tutorial by Tone Finnanger "Sew Sunny Homestyle"

Boys Month 2012 - Cooking chef costume

My boy is currently obsessed with cooking and little kitchenettes, he thus needed the proper outfit...

I used the tutorial for the Chef's hat from "Celebrate creativity" but instead of gathering the fabric at the base of the hat, I made pleats.

Boys month 2012 - Baby bibs - Hagesmække

Here it comes once again, the fantastic Boys Month organised by Frk Turkis, where you can get loads of inspiration for things to make for the boys :-)

I have some fun projects in store to celebrate this month, and here comes the first idea I got from a mother of my mothergroup, who ingeniously just sew some bias tape on a wash cloth and turned it into a bib, so smart, I had to do it too :-)


Some quick, easy and cheap bibs to make for the baby

Kids craft - the fish tank

ABC bean bags

I used the following tutorial from the Crafty Cupboard (found via Pinterest) except that I couldn't paint the letters so I cut them out of some white fabric and sewed them on.

Barnedåb indbydelse

Inspired by the pop-up card city video tutorial on Howcast YT channel

Bunk bed decoration

We bought a bunk bed with a pirate theme for the kids' room, but we finally agreed that there was too much black for small children so decided to change theme and go for a "green-forestry" style instead, so I did some envelope pillow covers (tutorial from Crafty Gemini) and some loooooong green "sausage pillows" out of cheap blankets found at tiger.

Plush letter

Saw the georgeous letters done by sew and the city (via pinterest)

Luckily for me I had to do a C, would have been much more of a challenge to do an A

I just added a little dinosaur to pimp it

Gækkebrev - Easter card with yarn scraps

Had lots of  scraps from a recent project involving granny squares....

We just dipped the scraps in a solution of glue and water and let it dry, it sticks quite well to the cardboard

Barbapapa en papier mache

This project from Nounou Bricabrac took us a week to complete with drying times for the paper and the paint where my son could also get involved , it was lots of fun and the result is amazing, I think.. :-)

Clean painting with kids

Found this idea at Hippiehousewife, she calls it mess free finger painting and it is great for parents and for teaching them about colors and how they mix!

Cupcakes for a B-day

with marshmallow fondant (tutorial found via pinterest)

Puff (biscuit) Quilt tutorial

I first found last year this tutorial on the internet, a bit oldish but then while writing this post, I found this newly made tutorial from The Olsen Family, where she does all the stitching by machine which goes much faster, I'll try that one too! :-)
