Wood: No-Sew Twirlers

Found a great idea for kids to play with! You just need a ring, some ribbons then just tie them up!

I beat my kids will love it very much! Maybe I will just make the ribbons shorter so they wont go hair-wire after some time.. ^^

Quiet Book Series - Development Ideas

Lately I was busy collecting ideas for quiet book and it will be a series of quiet book instructions. Each quiet book contains 4 - 6 words, one word per page with illustration/colors/shapes, depend on the instructional design for toddler's learning needs.

Tentatively here are some ideas I have listed, if you have other thoughts that you think is good for your kids, please let me know. I will convert your ideas to instruction so you can make it yourself!

Quiet book ideas (can choose 4 or 6 out of the given words):

(a) shapes (circle, oval, rectangle, square, triangle, love, star)

(b) colors (red, blue, yellow, green, orange, brown, purple, black, white)

(c) numbers (1 -5 or 1 - 10)

(d) fruits (apple, orange, grapes, banana, pineapple, strawberry, mango, durian, rambutan, manggosteen, papaya, starfruit, kiwi, watermelon, coconut)

(e) toddler food (biscuits, milk, porridge, bread, vegetable, fish, meat, egg, cheese)

(f) cloths (shirt, pants, skirts, dress, socks, shoe)

(g) daily routine (4p)(tooth brush, breakfast, bath, ball, pajamas, book, food)

(h) family (this could be difficult)

(i) toys (ball, cube, tent, bear, robot, doll, puzzle, top, kite)

(j) vegetables (cabbage, chilli, tomato, potato, cucumber, onion, carrot, corn, egg plant, mushroom,

(k) things at swimming pool (swimming costume, ball, float, sand dig)

(l) things at home (television, cookware, fridge, cupboard)

(m) things at school (blackboard, chalk, chair, table, teacher, book, bag, water bottle, uniform)

(n) things in wet market (fish, vegetables, meat, egg,

(o) things in kitchen (pot, pan, fork and spoon, knife, dinning table, chair,cup and saucer, plate, rubbish bin)

(p) things in bedroom (bed, table lamp, cupboard, pillow, bolster, blanket, alarm clock)

(q) in the sky (sun, moon, rain, rainbow, stars, cloud)

(r) in the sea (prawn, fish, seahorse, star fish, dolphin, crab, turtle)

(s) skills (tie shoe, button, zip, identify colors, identify shapes, puzzle matching, hang clothes)

Part of the ideas above will be converted into an interactive learning objects while some of it just a 2D design.

Circle/round Inspiration 1

What you can do with this?

You can just cut it out to make it as a coaster, modernfiberlab

no design and keep it plain.

archivistontheedge

with different color combination, what will you create?

hm, maybe let's start with something design

we can place different sizes and colors round shape

and make it an interesting hanging for our living room,

michaelaedwards

or else we can sew them on cushion cover^^

pompomrouge

instead of sewing them in straight line

you can also stack them together

it has now become a beautiful flower design right?

the little stitch

beside putting the circle on cushion,

we can use it on table mat and coaster as well

vegaslammy

you might consider to cut the round shape to some other design

urbanpaisley

there are many places you can place the circle as a design

on the hat,  the little stitch

as usual, add on with buttons then you can get nice brooches

paper and string

Heart Shape Inspiration

Talking about heart design using felt as a medium,
it can be as simple as plain without any design like this: paper-and-string


When we have the love shape/ heart shape design,
now we can make it a love cookies, cozy memories



when you place the love on a pillow: the tinder box



put some buttons on heart shape: nonniedesign



or using buttons as design/ wreath:
think out side the box2008



add some graphic and design: marielynn









 
think out side the box2008



i am susie
 

 

or you can choose to add in some words or
alphabets: lavender and lime



or you can choose to make them weird shape
and design, knit steel



attach some flower design not a bad idea:
think out side the box2008



Hm, interesting thought to add a pocket:
think out side the box2008
