This was such a fun project, an open art play. Children were very busy and they wouldn’t stop really. So much concentration and patience. Great work!
decorating
It’s time to fly away!
These beautities were made at Minis, parent-child classes. There was some work and a lot of inventiveness on the mothers’ sides. Children did the deco, all the important buttons and helmets too of course.
I know they will have A LOT of good time inside of them.
Everyone needs a rocket once in a while.
Me too. Like my own one. In the kitchen. Doooh.
Summer Camp “What can you do with an old suitcase”
Our first summer camp at Raumerstrasse turned out wonderful. Our project was entertraining, merry and joyfull. Children would gladly prolong it until Friday and we could probably really be working for another week to make it all perfect and satisfy all the ideas and wishes.
Development of our project was really in stages and it involved everything: planing, drawing, sawing, measuring, gluing, use of all sorts of tools, printing, decorating, painting, building, sewing, assembling of mosaics. We made some chalk colour and painted the front of the suitcases.
Anyhow, children made beautiful little homes and they were very excited to exhibit them for their parents on our very last day. They also had great time with each other, made new friends, helped each other a lot and had the weather on their side.
Good new times!

Giant ice creams
Ice creams are a thing. You can never go wrong there. And if you make them giant as these you are in for a win and gold and all ot that.
This is a lovely spring/summer art project. Easy and tasty. Inspired by lovely artbar.
Circus tents
I am happy to show off this lovely circus tents, inspired by artbar. I have to say it was A LOT to prepare but seeing children’s faces when they finished payed it all off! They really looked forward to finish this project making it as pretty as possible. I had no time to take photos during the process though. That happens a lot.
There was many little steps, but they were all pretty easy and relaxing. The whole project was more about assembling and aesthetics.
The girls went home with big smiles on their faces and pretty circuses in their hands.
Sticks and imagination
Each child got one stick that I picked in the forest. The instructions were to observe the stick and decide which animal to make out of it. It had to be part of the animal.
When they decided on an animal they made little sketches first and then started working on cardboard.
They were then asked to make more layers of cardboard for the body so the animals would become a bit 3D. I was surprised how good they were in making same shapes smaller and smaller.
As for colouring they were told only to decorate and leave all the facial details out which was a little hard for some children.
Beautiful collaged assemblaged animals and other creatures are now let free to admire.
Thinking, observing, drawing, comparing, constructing, cutting, gluing, decorating. Art is good!
