Titian Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 My little sister likes felting, she does needle felting and wet felt, she has recently been making felted beads on three pencils. I'd go with that too. My kiddies love wet felting and making beads/marbles. Fork knitting, weaving, cutting and sticking(don't they all), junk modelling (not my favourite at all..lol)...........

Hayley1 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 my boys have started to learn xstitch, and they like pom pom animals. As well as the usual glitter/sticking pictures and cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolspinster Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Felting is making felt from wool by either pricking with needles or using water and friction and a deteregent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenta Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've never heard of that one! My kids enjoy the usual painting and sticking but are now getting into card making and stitching. They have made models with fimo before too and really enjoyed that. Wouldn't mind teaching them something new though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I had two much younger brothers when I was in my teens (still got them too ), but saturdays was my day to mind them, and we dug out the messy stuff We particularly liked the papier mache landscape for some warhammer type game they'd got into, complete with caves and other random lumpy features Kids love getting messy and once we'd done the papier mache, we got to paint it too The table decs we did for christmas, stealing mum's egg cups for candle holders, were much admired in a 'which shop did you buy those in' kind of way - which isn't bad going for a 4yr old and a 2yr old We also turned margarine lids into pictures - painting the edges, then cutting the photo's to exactly fit the flat top within Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
