Our recommendation: 365 crafts to have a great time

Author: Fiona Watt

We keep thinking about what activities can help us with our little ones in these difficult days full of hours and opportunities! So let's take advantage of them! You know how we like them and how versatile plastic activities are. Crafts can be an excellent choice and this includes everything we can imagine, using recycled materials, newspapers, toilet paper rolls, plastic jars, straws, toothpicks, magazines, cardboard boxes ... we already know how many times our children They like the content more and not the content, so it's time to test your ingenuity and that of your child.

The book “365 crafts to have a great time” by author Fiona Watt contains activities that your child will surely love, such as the famous “paper castles”, “printed flowers”, “decorative boxes”, “drawings of cats and dogs” even shows us how to create a sea using newspapers .

But before we get down to it, as always, we leave you the following recommendations:

  • Choose activities appropriate to your child's level and make sure you are using non-toxic materials .
  • Present all materials on the table or floor where you are going to work. Allow your child to touch them, get to know them and explore them .
  • It exemplifies each step and even adapts the model of the instructions given in the book.
  • Take the steps that your child cannot or may find difficult . For example, cut with scissors or use glue.
  • For paint activities, make sure your child can't eat them. You can use crayons, markers, pencils, watercolors, tempera paints, etc. You can use any type of paper.
  • You can also paint on the floor, table or wall by sticking transparent paper (better if your child with autism is small), always trying not to stain anything.

Hundreds of crafts that you can rescue to spend a moment of exploration, stimulation of the senses while you draw castles, make decorated eggs, collage of butterflies, paper flags, painting with your thumb, drawings with tissue paper, embossed postcards even how make robots with collages and weave paper.

We invite you to leave us your email in the comments so we can send you the book and you can do these fun activities with your little one.
