Slane čestitke za Novu godinu - Christmas Cards with a Pinch of Salt

Za ovo zvezdano nebo vam je potrebno:

1. Papir za crtanje vodenim bojicama
2. Plava vodena boja ili tempera
3. Nalepnice u obliku zvezde ili pahulje
4. Četkica, makaze, lepak
5. So (kuhinjska, krupna ili sitna)
6. Karton na koji ćete zalepiti čestitku

Postupak je vrlo jednostavan i zabavan i maloj deci i predškolcima. Na beli papir zalepite željene nalepnice (1), potom sve to obojite
(2), a zatim pospite solju (3). Preporučujem da bojite deo po deo čestitke i odmah ga posolite dok je još mokro, jer ako se boja prosuši, so nema efekta. Potom, kad se sve osuši, otresete višak soli i skinete nalepnice. Zalepite čestitku na karton, upišete lepe želje i pošaljete.

What you need to create this starry night:

1. Watercolour paper
2. Blue watercolour
3. Star or snowflake shaped stickers
4. A brush, scissors and some glue
5. Salt (choose the type you want or mix more types)
6. Cardboard on which you will place the card when finished

The process is quite simple and it's interesting for both for toddlers and preschoolers. Stick the stars or showflakes on the paper (1), paint it all with watercolour paint (2) and pour some salt on it (3). I advise to paint smaller portions of the card and immediately put salt on them, then go on to the next part of the paper, because the salt works best when the paint is still very wet. When the card is finished, let it dry, then brush off the excess salt and peel away the stars. Paste the card onto a piece of cardboard, write your warmest wishes on the inside of the Christmas card and mail them :)

Jelka sa dugmićima - Christmas button tree

U izradi ovih jelkica su podjednako dobro mogle da učestvuju i dvogodišnjakinja i šestoipogodišnjakinja, što se ne događa baš često. I to sa minimumom mog uplitanja :)

Dakle, potrebno vam je sledeće:
  • penasta guma, filc, hamer, karton ili nešto slično
  • dugmići raznih oblika i veličina (preporučujemo da pretražite bakinu zalihu)
  • lepak
  • trakica
Gotova jelkica može da posluži kao ukras za jelku, a možete je i zalepiti na karton i napraviti čestitku.

Both my two-year-old and my six-and-a-half-year-old equally enjoyed this activity, with minimum imput on my side, which does not happen often :)

You will need the following:
  • craft foam, felt, thicker paper, cardboard or something similar
  • buttons in different shapes and sizes (I recommend going through grandma's stash)
  • some glue
  • some string
You can use the finished tree as a Christmas tree decoration or put it on a piece of cardboard and make a Christmas card.

Ana kapa - Anna inspired hat

Velika sestra je dobila Elsa kapu, a mala šmizla Ana kapu. Predivo je isto (Vučjanka), mustra takođe (opet pleteno, ne heklano), jedino su pletenice drugačije upletene. A i dete je jednako zadovoljno :)

After the Elsa inspired hat for the big sister, the little one got her Anna inspired hat. The yarn is the same (Vučjanka by St. George), the pattern too (the hat is again knitted, not crocheted), only the braids are different. And the little one is just as happy :)
