This starts, of course, several weeks before fathers day. Seed the tomato and the paprika. Let the children fill the pot with potting soil, make holes with a screwdriver and slip the root into the hole. Give some water  Let them color on carton their favorite image and write some text to cover the pot and wrap it in cellophane. Finish it off with some lace and a little “I love you dad” card.

32. Mothers day Heart

Last month we made (again) something special for mothers day. Very rewarding, because Mom is the Best 🙂

You saw the heart form from MDF and let the children paint it with white paint, then let them draw stripes with a fork. Use a glue pistol to glue everything on it. Stones, shells, tealight holder, and dried twigs. You can also highlight the twigs with white paint. The shell can be used to store (ear) rings and the heart is originally for on the dressing table.
