Being at home is boring? It doesn’t have to be!

Hand-crocheted hand and finger puppets inspire creativity in several ways. First of all, you need a pattern, e.g. this one:
Value Pack - 6 Hand Puppets

or this one, if you’d rather crochet finger puppets:
Value Pack - 10 Finger Puppets

With these, you can crochet important hand puppets for puppet theater. Then you pick out the yarn from your leftover yarn. The kids can already help decide which colors the characters should wear. Then it’s time to crochet, and you can definitely deviate a little from the pattern. Here, too, the kids can contribute their ideas. When decorating and embellishing the characters, they can even lend a hand themselves.

And then comes the best part: putting on a theater show! Little everyday situations, fairy tales, and adventures—make up funny plays yourselves and perform them all together as a family! It’s fun and drives away boredom! And this way, fears that many children surely have because of the unfamiliar situation can also be worked through.

If you’re looking for even more patterns for hand and finger puppets, you can find them here in my store:
even more hand puppets
or even more finger puppets

A little tip to finish: Very small children often get along better with finger puppets because they can’t yet hold and move the larger hand puppets very well. Finger puppets, on the other hand, only need to be slipped onto one or two fingers.

How about a very creative project made from spool-knitted cords? You can make wonderful, brightly colored rugs from them. First we crochet a mesh. Then, using a mechanical knitting spool, we crank out lots of cords, which we then thread into the mesh. Every rug will be one of a kind.

Or you can crochet a few games with game pieces and a matching bagyourself. The games can be washed, which is very practical.



Or my third suggestion for a creative handicraft: the Rustico Basket

It is crocheted with multiple strands, creating ever-new color effects. A plastic clothesline runs along the inside. That makes the basket sturdy and stable. Size and curve are variable.



I hope you have lots of fun with your new creative project.

Best wishes, Ina

You can get especially creative when crocheting these scrap gobblers. All kinds of leftover bits and pieces can go into them, and you can even use up empty toilet paper rolls. These scrap gobblers are a great idea for children’s birthday parties, because they can easily be filled with little surprises or given away as gifts.
