Are you someone like me who has no clue on how to make a project for your kids?
Not every mom is a DIY person. But let me share with you it’s not that difficult. I was one of those moms who thought that its not my cup of tea. But once I started making them for my sons I realised that they are not that difficult to make. You just need a few things
- Start small
- Don’t take up a big project at once
- Gain confidence by making small things
- Start with something that takes 2-10 mins to make
- Don’t be afraid of mistakes :
- It is okay if your kid doesn’t like what you make
- Try to align the project with their interest
- Saves a lot of money :
- Make something similar to a type of toy you are interested to buy for a kid
- If a kid shows interest in this type of toy, it’s a good idea to invest
- You can always modify according to kids interest
- Keep these things handy or pick them up from amazon or any local store
- Cardboard Boxes
- More than 90% of the DIY’s can be made using these.
- Don’t throw them away
- Bigger the better
- In times of corona, quarantine them properly and sanitize and then use
- Scissors:
- Get a big one for all your cutting
- Small, blunt one, kid-friendly one for your kids
- Glue: Fevicol works best
- Rolls on work only good on thin paper
- Always use carpenters masking tape to stick on wall
- Crayons: Oil pastels are the best
- Pom poms:
- Mess-free sensory DIY in a jiffy
- Can get in different sizes
- Velcro strips: Make pattern matching easy
- easy puzzles
- Dot Stickers:
