Crafts and Costumes

As I mentioned in the previous post, autumn is an ideal time of year to enjoy with the kids. One of the activities I recommended you do is to collect autumn leaves, observe their shapes and their varied colors. But what to do with them? A beautiful craft that you can do with the autumn leaves is to cut shapes with dies.

A few days ago I told you about my new fondness for weaving and I showed you how to make Halloween crocheted crochets. Today I want to show you another project as simple as you can do with your little ones: a Halloween pumpkin crocheted. The night of 31 is just around the corner, so there are few days left to prepare the last details.

The fabric is a very entertaining craft to do with children, in addition to being very positive for their development. It promotes fine motor skills, improves concentration, has a relaxing effect and makes them aware that they can create clothes and shapes with their own hands. Crochet has become one of my latest hobbies, so I want to show you these fun Halloween crocheted crochets that you can do with children to decorate the house.

You will be preparing your houses to celebrate one of the funniest nights of the year with the kids, so today we will show you some DIY decorative ideas suggested by our Decoesfera companions. Children will love them, and of course you can do them with them. They are all very simple and easy to do with things we have at home.

As every year we offer you in Babies and more some easy ideas to create a festive and terrifying atmosphere with which to set the house and the days before the Halloween party. I know that it is not very common to celebrate it here in Spain, but in my house we always do it, disguised as characters dressed in black with fangs, bones and similar things, making terrifying cakes and bloody snacks and taking the invitations of the guests, previously delivered, so that they go to the house of horrors.

The most anticipated date of autumn is approaching and with it the ideas for crafts and decoration with the kids. Today we want to propose you to paint terrifying balloons for Halloween, with simple ideas to make at home if we don't want to buy anything special. We just need balloons of various colors, and with a permanent marker we can decorate the oranges as pumpkins (there are more gloomy ones, but I prefer sympathetic ones) and white balloons like ghosts, and use imagination to paint bats, spiders, cats , witches, eyes ... in different colors.

If you want an event to be a success and take worldwide fame, put sweets (with one or two kilos may suffice), face paint (several boats), costumes (better the more fear they give) and a whole week of preparations with the smaller (and patience, a lot of patience) and of course a night of witches, ghosts and other monsters.

Halloween is coming and, although in Spain the trick or treat is not carried out and the disguise of monsters and things like that, there are people who enjoy dressing up and disguising their children if only for dinner that night. We at home, in fact, as we were with family members, we usually disguise the children of mummies, vampires and similar things, and they are delighted.

The Swedish brand never ceases to surprise us. Although previous years we had already seen some accessories to create Halloween costumes, this season H&M launches today a special Halloween collection for the little ones. It makes it very easy for us to disguise children without getting into trouble or spending too much money.

I confess, one of the things I have hated as a child was to wear "the executioners", those wool caps that covered your face, a kind of hybrid between hat and scarf. It was to leave the house and take it off as soon as I turned the second street, I could remove it before but one already knows that the vision of the mothers is able to cross the walls, with a clear limit, I assumed that mine more than two blocks of houses do not I was able to cross, so it was my "safety distance".

One of the cinematographic sensations of the year has undoubtedly been those little ducks and endearing bugs, which by the way will have their own movie, which we can see only in 2015. You can turn your little ones into nice Minions with these easy and funny hats to make in home .

Today we want to propose some very artistic crafts: 3D Miró figures made quite simply with cardboard and paintings. The results, as colorful and different as you see in the photographs. We just need to make our figures several pieces of cardboard, not too thick (like cookie boxes ...).

The multicolored Mexican-style piñatas is something I have always wanted to do. They give a touch of color to any birthday and can be a nice memory of that day. We show you today how to make your baby's first birthday piñata yourself. (I say "yourself" but it also applies to parents, there are some very skilled).

I have seen this super original costume and although it is not Carnival or Halloween I can not miss the opportunity to show it to you. It is often difficult to disguise a baby too small, because we want him to feel comfortable and have freedom of movement, things that some costumes prevent. Therefore, if you have a party, disguise your baby as a bag of popcorn.

If you want to have a fun time with your little ones do not miss these free finger puppets to print. You just have to download the template, print it on a card, cut out the animals and assemble the puppets as the model indicates. The toucan is my favorite, although the mouse is also very nice.

Mother's Day is approaching and you may not have something ready to entertain Mom in her day. For us there is nothing more beautiful than a little detail made by our kids, so take note of these last minute gifts that kids can make for mom. Painted pots A very simple idea that I have seen in The Celebration shoppe is to buy a clay pot and paint the initial of the mother's name, or have each child paint a pot with the initial of their own name.

Mother's Day is approaching and no doubt a good way to celebrate it is by preparing our mother's recipe that we liked most when we were little. In Direct to the Palate, our blog kitchens, have had the great idea of ​​rescuing our mothers' recipes, delicacies that we can prepare to honor them and honor us next Sunday.

We still have time to prepare a surprise for Mother's Day. With the help of dad, kids can collaborate to make these beautiful crafts: bookmarks and gift cards to mom. If there is something that children enjoy is preparing a gift themselves. And these details can make them, they will love to be partakers of this simple but beautiful present.

We can feel it, love is in the air. Tomorrow is a special day, and although we find it a commercial date, cheesy and everything you want to add, it is worth putting hearts to life, so we are going to give you some original ideas to spend a special Valentine's day with your children . Children will love to decorate the house and do some detail.

I have found by chance these beautiful cloth masks ideal for creating the most original Carnival costume. Many children are bothered by masks, and to tell the truth, plastic ones don't like me at all. But I loved them, because they are soft and they do not cover either mouth or nose, so they have no risk and allow the child to eat without having to take it off.
