DIY Christmas | Festive Plant Gift

Here are some really simple and easy additions you can make to a store bought bunch or pot of flowers to make it a little more festive - perfect for display in your home or as a gift.



| WHAT YOU NEED |
Flowers or Plant / Pine Cones / Skewers or Floristry Wire / Hot Glue Gun / Tissue Paper / Cellophane / Ribbon

| HOW YOU MAKE THEM |

For this DIY, I bought a poinsettia plant that was already in a pot and had some shape and fullness to it already.  I transferred it from the store wrap and added to an Ikea planter.
I then added to the festive-ness (yes, that is a new adjective) and created some fullness by filling in the sparse ares with a few fir sprigs:
I fixed my decorations; pinecones, with hot glue to some folded (for strength) floristry wire (though a skewer would work just as well):
I then added my pine cones to create more fullness and to break up the colour and add a little interest.
Continue adding any decoration until you achieve the look and style you are happy with.
Side Note: after taking all my photographs and in a slight panic, I added a little glitter glue to the pinecones to add some interest and detail (and because I hadn't used it yet).

If you are gifting the plant, finish by adding tissue paper in a festive colour or design around the outside.  Fold your tissue paper in to triangles, overlapping the paper to create a neat finish and fix in place under the flower pot to start.
Bring each side up, adding tape where needed to hold it in place and fold where you can (rather than scrunch).
Continue until you have the look you want - I kept the front of the plant fairly open, concentrating my triangles at the back and each side (though in my opinion, you can never have too much!)
Finally, if you have some cellophane, add a second layer of folded triangles to protect everything and finish with a ribbon to complete the look.
You can adapt this to any style or colour preference - and they make great Secret Santa, Christmas party host and neighbour gifts or home decorations.
This is the last DIY I'll share before Christmas - with little more than a week to go, there are lots of ideas right here, should you have time for any more.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy start to 2019 - see you on the other side!

  48. Balancing Toys: Playful Tools for Developing Coordination and Focus

    Balance toys are not just entertaining playthings; they're valuable tools for fostering a child's physical and cognitive development. These captivating toys come in various shapes and sizes, challenging youngsters to stabilize and coordinate their movements in order to keep them upright.

    These toys serve as excellent aids in refining a child's fine and gross motor skills. As they manipulate these objects, children learn to control their hand-eye coordination, enhance their sense of balance, and develop a deeper understanding of spatial relationships. This process lays the foundation for future physical activities and sports.

    Furthermore, balance toys encourage focus and concentration. As children engage in the task of maintaining equilibrium, they are honing their attention spans and improving their ability to concentrate on specific tasks. This skillset is invaluable for academic pursuits and later endeavors in life.

    Beyond their physical and cognitive benefits, balance toys also stimulate creativity and imagination. Children often invent imaginative games and scenarios involving these toys, allowing them to explore new worlds and ideas.

    Parents and educators alike appreciate the multifaceted advantages of balance toys. They provide an enjoyable and enriching way for children to develop fundamental skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. So, whether it's a wobbly board, a rocking horse, or a balance beam, investing in these toys is an investment in a child's holistic development.
