Kids Crafts - Halloween

Last Sunday, we held a small Halloween Party at home.

We had invited a few friends to our party.

Only a few friends could join because now is the testing or examination period, most of the children need to study at home.

My son is having tests too. But I want him to relax, instead of just study and study.


Before the party, my son and I decorated the house.

I had seen a photo from the web that some people decorated their house doors with funny faces.

This gave me inspirations. I decided to decorate the fridge and piano with funny faces.

We used colored papers, old magazines and paper plates to make them.

Then, stick them with blu-Tack, so that no mess!

How do you think??

Kids crafts - Halloween skeleton

Below was the homework my son done in last Halloween.

It was the story book cover.

He drew this by himself! I asked him why he knew how to draw the skeleton?

He said he saw this in a book that he read.

I think it is truly great! I like the sharp colors that he used around the skeleton.

But when you see carefully, there is a problem with its teeth!

How come it has three rows of teeth?? lol!

My son also laughed when I pointed out this careless mistake, lol!

How do you think about this skeleton??

Wire Helicopter

Yesterday, my son discovered something.

When he discovered them, he felt very happy!

He said, 'yeah! I can do some crafts with them!'

Guess what he discovered?

He found the wires for typing up garbage bags.

Those wires are about 4 inches long with some white plastic wrapping them.


And then, my son used them to make a helicopter.

Originally, he used some adhesive tapes to help making it.

I helped him to use wire twisting method to combine parts together.

How is it?

I still have a lot of such kind of wires because we do not use them to tie the garbage bags.

He still has a lot to do other crafts! : )

Paper Crafts - Paper Bag Puppets Round Up (1)

I like to do paper crafts with my son.

We use carton box to make tank or other things.

We love paper folding, scratch paper drawing, etc.

Recently, I discover paper bag crafts.

I think my son must want to try this, too.

To give my son some ideas on what to do with paper bag, I have summarized some ideas on my Pinterest.

Share some with you here! : )


Most people like to make animals with paper bags.

Lovely black cat and other animals! : )

Kids Party Food - strange shape boiled egg

On my son's birthday, I planned to give him a surprise in his lunch box.

I thought and thought. And finally, I decided to make a strange shape boiled egg.


At first, I boiled the eggs as usual. But this time, the egg yorks must be well cooked.

I peeled off the shell.

When the eggs were still hot, I put them into cookie molds.

Paper crafts - scratch paper birthday card to my son

My son's birthday has just passed.

Time flies. He is seven years old now.

This year, my son said that he wanted to receive a birthday card from us.

Oh! That was a great idea. I had never sent him a birthday card though there were birthday gifts and cakes for him every year.

So I tried to think what birthday card should I give to my son.

I never thought of buying one from shop though they might be more beautiful.

I wanted to make one solely for him.

Finally, I decided to use scratch paper to make a special card for him.

I found a cake picture in computer from free coloring pages.

I used wooden pen to draw it on the scratch paper.

Then I sticked it to a bright yellow card.

When he first saw the card, he opened his eyes wide and said that is so beautiful.

I love you my son, I will keep this card properly.

And in the coming years, I will make cards for you, too.

Paper Craft for Kids - Lock Box

One day, when we had window shopping with our son, he saw a lovely lock.

The lock was a lady bud, so beautiful!

He begged us to buy that for him.

As that was not expensive, we bought it for him.

Now at his age, 6 years old, my son always beg us to buy toys. We may not buy him things every time he begs us.  : )


But after he went home, he had a question.

What could he lock with the lovely lock??

We do not have any drawer that is suitable for that kind of lock.

We thought and thought.

Finally, I told him to empty one of the shoe box he used to store toys, and we made a special 'drawer' with lock ourselves.

He was so excited and happy as he could soon have a place to store confidential things.

We used some cardboard to make the lock.

Here it is! How is it??

Paper Craft - paper plates roller coaster

The idea is so great!

If I have time, I must try to make one with my son! : )
