4 Years Old Quiling Frame

Hello,

Today I wanted to share this quilling frame made by my 4 years old daughter.  She assembled the wooden frame at the Home Depot with the help from my husband.  If you have small children and looking for free thing to do on weekend,  the Home Depot has free kid clinic on the first Saturday of every month.   And Lowe Home improvement  also has free kid workshops twice a month.  The workshop is on the second and the third Saturday of the month.

With the paper threader that I got not too long ago, I cut her some quilling strips.  I tried to show her how to use the circle sizers but it was difficult for her.  I thought the imperfection on the flower petals added an interesting effect to it.  I didn't help her with the quilling at all. 

She made the three flowers with the stem and the leaves first then she glued them onto the frame.  She added the four corners later. It took her a few days to do this quiling. The last corner I guested she got tired of it and never finish it.  She wanted to sell her frame at the craft show.   She didn't realize that her frame is priceless to her mom. :)

Until next time!

Kids 3 D wooden Puzzles

Hello,
I don't have any of my craft to share today.  However, I thought I will share some of my sons 3 D wooden puzzles.

My two sons love to build and when I saw these wooden puzzles at Michaels' on the clearance rack I was so excited.

These puzzles are quite big..They measure more than 12 inches tall and the long one measure more than 12 inches wide like the Windsor Castle.

There were no written instruction for these puzzles.  They had to look at the picture of the model and assembled the model.  They assembled them so quickly except the leaning tower.   My older son gave up after about an hour because the pieces kept on falling off.  Then I suggested to my younger son to assemble just one layer at a time then paint it with Modge Pod and wait until the Modge Pod dry then assemble the next layer.  It work!  It took him about 6 hours total to complete the Leaning Tower.

After the Leaning tower my younger son didn't feel like assembling the Windsor Castle  so my older took over.  These are their most recent wooden 3 D puzzles.  They had assemble many in the past.  Their room are full of 3 D puzzles.

Kids Creations

Good Morning Everyone,
If you are my regular blog visitor, you knew I love 3 D. I have a few 3 D creations to share today.  However, I didn't make them.  My older son made them.  He printed them from PaperCraft.com.


He arranged this scene, the two police cars are chasing the two convertibles.

He loves airplanes, especially the fighter jets.

Space Shuttle, there were 7 astronauts but I didn't feel like arranging the other six.

My favorite is this fire truck.  The ladder could turn and it could also extended.  So cute!

Thanks for stopping by today.
