Terrarium in plastic box
Is your kid odsessed about different insects, snails or worms?!) If "yes" this post is definitely for you). My oldest can't spend a day without insects: Killian sits on the swing with them and puts them in toy trucks. It's a real big love!) haha)
During another walk we found some snails and of course, my Little K found them really interesting. So, spontaneously I had the idea of a small terrarium for my toddler on our balcony. So, I took a not big transparent plastic box with lid ( form IKEA), made lots of small holes in the lid so as to prevent snails from escaping. Also, I brought soil and plants from the place there we found snails.
But now we need to feed them! We feed them with nettles and plantain. Also, we found that the snails really like apples, cabbage, and... cardboard! Yeah, cardboard) and plenty, plenty of water ( it's better to use spray) because the snails can live without food for a long period of time but without water they will die quickly. Good luck with the terrarium!

Apple-print bag
I found an awesome tutorial to decorate the tote bag.
The tutorials are here and here...I really like the idea with prints of fruits/vegetables and I'm sure that your little guys will like the taste of it very much)
For a long time our bag is laying lonely and I and the little ones decided have a little bit of fun. As you can see I have not really changed a lot in the existing project. The only thing: I didn't sew all handles with fabric, I just sewed long stripes on the outward facing side of the handles.
Good prints can be obtained through use of pears, oranges, artichokes or even leaves.

D.I.Y bunch of branches + one old flower pot
This is an easy way to decorate old or ugly flower pots almost for free.
I took:
I took:
- branches ( I used birch )
![]() |
| no tree was harmed) |
- rope or twine
- saw
I sawed the branches to match the height of the pot.
So that the branches stick to the pot I used a rubber band to hold them in place around the pot as I slid them one by one under the rubber band. After all the branches are in place I took a rope and wrapped it twice around the part and tied it firmly and ... voilà! our eco-flower pot is ready!
