Primary school children mostly like to do handicrafts - especially if they have previously used the handicraft material - wood - were allowed to collect and edit themselves.

Activities for children - looking for wood to carve

  • Combine the handicraft completely with a project: forest. The children feel good in the forest, they can romp around, experience a lot and discover many species of plants and animals such as small insects. Combine the handicraft offers with a trip to the forest and let the kids collect the wood they need for carving.
  • Make sure, however, that only wood that lies on the forest floor is collected. Avoid cutting sticks or branches from trees.
  • If you have enough wood with the children, it is time to cut them to size. Of course, it depends on what will emerge from it later. Do you want to z. B. make a raft, then the pieces of wood can be carved a little bit at the ends.
  • Don't think up too complicated handicraft offers, use the branches to make rafts, crosses or simple furniture for the doll's house. Also, help out if necessary.
