Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

In our world anyone can hold hands ...soldiers and ballerinas, girls and boys

Cut out your own soldiers and ballerinas like the ones in H.C. Andersen's stories. 



Take a sheet of A4 paper and fold it in half.

Cut along the fold and place the two 
pieces of paper like this.

Tape them together.

And cut off the extra tape.

Fold the paper inwards on each side like this up to the fold in the middle.

Draw on the top of the folded paper. One soldier and one ballerina holding hands
(Don't worry, you can see the outline better if you scroll two photos further down)

Cut carefully around them.

There, that's better.

And when you unfold them, they'll look like this.

Smiley.
