Holiday Break – What To Do With The Kids?!

I know, I know, as soon as the bell rings and our little angels are off from school, we hear parents saying, they get anxious about what to do with the kids after Christmas fever is over.
Yeap, calling Santa  will not work for the next 11 months.
So what, any ideas?!
This is what I came up with.
I realized that my daughter is very intuitive and loves making art.

She loves sewing, knitting, painting, drawing. She makes my job easy. As long as I provide the material, a whole bunch of hours is spent on creation mode.
But she is already 7 years old and her focus is way deeper than my 4 year old little boy!
He drags me to the craft room and begs me for help.
He wants finger knit like his sister, painting, drawing, felting and sewing using very sharp needle, what always end up on tears.
One day,  I was on a verge of finishing a sewing project and the little guy stopped beside me and asked me to try the sewing machine.

I first hesitated and then got a kid’s size one, gave him a few safety coordinates, a large piece of cloth and let the fun begins.
He spent almost one hour going back and forth with all the buttons, stitches and colored threads.
While he was sewing, I was able to finish a few projects while appreciating the beauty of his happy humming.

I am all into the whole Waldorf thing, natural toys, nature hunts, but I have to say – There is something about gas pedals and boys that really get them going!

 I hope you have a great New Year!
A life filled with love, peace, health, family, friends and little miracles!
