There’s a lot of grumbling amongst the parents of modern teenagers about their lack of communication skills and the amount of time spent ignoring their parents in favour of their technological relationships. And I’m really hoping there are some parents of little kids reading this too, because this problem inevitably starts when they’re much much younger, and it starts with you!

Kids learn by example. I’m sure you’ve heard that one before! So watch your own and your partner’s behaviour around technology. Do you switch on your laptop before you’ve even said good morning? Do you shut your kids out while you quickly catch up on some emails? Do you take calls when they’re busy speaking to you?

How about leaving your emails until they’ve gone to bed, ignoring the calls or even better, switching your phone off and giving them your full attention?

I think all families should have technology-free time and the earlier you initiate this, the less resistance you’ll have as they grow older and the better habits they will pick up. Make dinnertime a technology-free time for everyone in the family. This is one of the most important things you can do in terms of keeping an open channel of communication in your family – no phones, no laptops, no TV. And try to make at least one holiday a year a techno-free time too – go to the bush where there’s no signal and no electricity, go overseas without roaming, or simply insist on all technology being left behind.

We need to teach our kids how to communicate without these things, to really connect, and this can only happen if we do it ourselves!

Today’s project takes “glitter art” to the next level: making it into a pre-reading activity by drawing secret messages with the glue stick.

What You’ll Need:

Step 1:

Doing art with glue sticks and glitter is a classic pre-school activity.  It works on fine-motor coordination as the child unscrews the glue stick cap, smears glue on the paper, and shakes glitter or salt onto the surface.

Large motor skills get developed as the child lifts the paper and shakes the glitter off (preferably into a cup so it could be used on the next project!)

Step 2:

Taking glitter art to the next level, this now becomes a pre-reading activity.  You, the adult, take the glue stick and write a secret message on to the paper.  Then hand it over and let the child discover the message by pouring the glitter on and revealing the secret!

What secret message would you write? You could also do shapes, numbers, or a picture. Leave us a comment below and tell us how this project turned out for you.

Today’s craft is a Christmas classic: an angel tree-topper, made from a small piece of cardboard such as a toilet paper roll.  You could make a whole choir of these angels and place them on a shelf or mantel.  They are quick, cute, and upcycled.

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Make the angel’s body

Lay the cardboard tube onto a colored piece of paper or card.  Roll it up and cut it to size, and then tape it in the back.

Step 2: Make the wings

Take the plastic doily and measure it against the tube.  Cut a rainbow shape (an arc) so the top of the arc is the height of the tube.  Center the tube on the arc and tape it into place.

 Step 3: Make the head

Cut a piece of white paper the width of one-third the tube.  Roll up this paper, draw a face on it, and tape it into place.

Step 4: Add a halo

Cut a circle from a yellow post-it sticky note.  Tuck the circle into the top of the angel’s head.  Tape it at the back to secure.

Step 5:  Top your tree!

Merry Christmas from DIY Kids!

Today’s DIY Kids project aims to produce a personalised gift for someone you and your children love, such as a grandparent or an aunt.  There are three gifts in this tutorial arranged in order of skill:  easy, harder, and challenging!

As the main ingredient, we’re using an item easily found at a charity shop or in the sale rack at a discount store:  2 quilted placemats.  By re-purposing these placemats, you can make either a) personalised placemats, b) pot holders, or c) a tote to carry a gift bottle of wine, juice, or olive oil to a party.

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Placemats

Place a large dollop of paint on a paper plate or polystyrene veggie tray.  Encourage your child to dip his hand in the paint and make a handprint on the placemats.  Depending on the child’s age, you could make a pattern or just print them randomly, as we did here:

The result is gift option one: hand-printed placemats!

Step 2: Pot holder

A quilted placemat folded in half twice makes a great hot pot holder.  You could sew the edges together if you wish, but it’s more of a re-naming or re-purposing.

Step 3: Create a tote, first in a simple way …

A tote is a bag, with or without a handle.  Start by putting the mats together, printed sides facing in.  Sew all the way around three sides, leaving one short side open.  Turn it inside out, and you have a standing bag.

Step 4: A more complicated tote

To make an even more professional-looking tote, you could choose to “box the corners” at the bottom of the bag and also cut a large handle into each side of the top of the bag.

Boxing the corners means making little bunny ears, sewing across them, and then cutting them off.  It makes the bottom of the bag flat.

To create a handle, sew a huge buttonhole with your machine:  zigzag down the long ends, and do a sturdy stitch about 10 times at each tiny end.  Use a sharp scissors to cut a slit through, where your hand can then go.

If you have any questions about making these projects, please leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to clarify the tutorial.  Have fun!

Today’s craft is money-saving, healthful and fun.

Hula hoops that you buy in a toy shop never work for taller kids or adults because the hoop is far too small.  A hoop has to go all the way up to your chest, or even up to your neck, to really swing it.  If you add weight to the hoop, it can actually work your abs and core muscles.  Let’s hoop!

What You’ll Need

Step 1: Go to the hardware store

Ask where they keep the black plastic irrigation tubing, for gardens.

Step 2: Cut it to size

Choose the 1 cm tubing, and make a circle of it so it meets between your chest and your neck.  Ask the hardware store employee to cut it for you.  My tubing cost me R18.

Step 3: Buy a connector, but take the whole thing home first

This is what the connector looks like.  It is a “male-male” and will help you close the loop.  My connector cost me R3.

It is inserted into one side of the loop, but I’m taking it home to…

Step 4: Add a cup of water to the pipe and seal it up.

Adding water gives the hoop some weight, and that makes it much easier to swing than a light, flimsy hula hoop.

Connect the tube to the red connector and then seal it with duct tape.

I am 155 cm tall, and the hula hoop is 110 cm in diameter. See how it is as tall as my chest?

Step 5: Swing it!

Try it for ten minutes at first, listening to music.  Raise and lower your arms.  Once you get good at it, you can hoop for up to 30 minutes.

You might get a sore spot on your waist or hip, but for me that went away after three days.  Keep at it and we’re sure to see a stronger core.

Please leave us a comment or post a picture if you’ve made your own hula hoop!
