Make Craft Not Mess

Can't get enough of Halloween! Made a few stickers from Felt fabric, which can be turned to a pin or simply stick on any materials.

Halloween is the season of crafting! We made portable lamps out of plastic bottles and table lamps from Nutella glass containers this year to add to our seasonal collection.

Collect and recreate the items from daily supplies that would otherwise go to the trash. Fun, learn and safe the planet!

Trust your kids and they will surprise you! In a dizzy Sunday afternoon, I took out what I had in the storage and suggested them to make bookmarks. I saw them started to make drafts and cut fabric, then I went for a nap.

When I came out of the room after an hour or so, the working table was clean and tidy. The scraps were organized and put back in the cupboard. What were left on the table, were these cute animal paper clips!

Not always a mess after crafting. Not this time.

After a long break I am back to crafting. While we were active in summer, the cold air in September reminds me that it's the best to stay inside and entertain the kids with crafting. Although I also want to let them make craft in free style, it will always end up with messes if not disaster.

Do you also make crafts with your kids, or provide them materials then sit back?
