Crafts To Make With Your Daughters And Decorate The Rooms
Dear Mom, are you worried because once again the weekend is coming and you don’t know how to distract your girls? Or worse yet, the holidays are approaching and you have nothing planned. How about making crafts to decorate the girls’ rooms?
Have you ever wondered where to take them or what to do to distract them? Surely you already know that your daughters will respond in chorus: ‘Let’s go to the zoo!’ . But surely you’ve been so many times that you know it’s time to get creative. In your case, it may not be the zoo in particular, but for sure you do other activities that already seem to be monotonous.
Then you remember how much you enjoyed making crafts and how these moments can contribute to your daughters’ cognitive processes and also to the development of motor skills.
That’s when you should ask your daughters: “What if we bring the zoo home?”
What fabric can we buy to make the crafts?
If the answer was a resounding and festive yes from the little ones, now you’ve made a commitment to go buy the materials that will be used in the crafts. You can play at making zoo animals just as a fun activity or simply to decorate your daughter’s room with your favorite themes.
Using felt is a great idea, as it is known to be a fabric-like material but it is not, as it is not made from the crisscross of threads like all fabrics, but from the friction of the wool of animals such as the llama or alpaca. .
This type of material meets expectations when making a craft to decorate a child’s room, as it is easy to handle and has a variety of colors.
A room personalized by themselves with crafts
A bedroom decorated by your own girls has unimaginable benefits. This creates in them identity, tastes or preferences. Likewise, you can determine their personalities and improve their manual and even creative skills.
As if that wasn’t enough, the decorations with handicrafts made by the girls’ own hands will give them a feeling of belonging, something very important for them to feel that they are at home. They will also feel the satisfaction of a job well done, of appreciating the art after it is finished and being able to observe and touch it.
They will also acquire new skills that will improve manual work as well as imagination and creativity. Your daughters will make crafts that will improve their social and communication skills and strengthen the bond with you and your sisters if they do the crafts all together.
fun crafts
The idea of the zoo can serve as an inspiration. Depending on the animal chosen, Mom can buy a model and, all together, you can fill and make some dolls with the different colored felt pieces, foam rubber or fabric cutouts. Likewise, it is possible to add buttons for the eyes, as well as embroidery threads and ribbons to decorate.
Crafting is a fun task and, when it comes to putting it together, all the details add affection and beauty to each girl’s bedroom.
Practice leads to perfection,
that’s why you should create different types of crafts so that the new decoration is really noticeable.
