There is such a group of mothers around, they carry their own design of small leather bags, unique and cute; with their own tea cups, every time you drink water, you can feel the small luck of life.
Mothers say that what they enjoy most is the quiet time when they slowly polish their works, and whether the finished objects are placed in the home decoration or when they are actually used, they can evoke the memories of the creation - the original quiet time has been precipitated in the final finished product.
Such a good experience activity, why not let the children also feel it? It turns out that the mother-level handmade works are often too difficult. And the kind of simple version of the handicraft that the mall is full of for children to play, the quality of the materials is often not guaranteed, and the production process does not have any guidance and explanation, and the sense of quality is rough, and the sense of achievement after the baby experience is greatly reduced.
So, are there any professional DIY activities for children? It's better to be moderately difficult and interesting enough! After some searching, I really found these unique DIY stores in Beijing, which may make the babies experience once and can't stop!
Monkeys, rabbits and babies take babies to immerse themselves in folk culture
No. 93 Courtyard Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop is located in the Qianmen area full of Beijing flavor, and can be found by walking into the iron tree street of Liulichang, which has a strong cultural atmosphere. As soon as you step into this courtyard, you will be deeply attracted by the charm of old Beijing. This small courtyard is also an authentic museum, a base for the dissemination and experience of intangible cultural heritage and folk art.
The museum is divided into two exhibition halls, one for exhibition and sales, walking in will be hung on the wall pictures, display of various objects, instantly evoking the memories of old Beijing. The other is an event venue where you can sit and experience intangible cultural heritage at your fingertips.
Isn't it perfect to bring a baby here to first raise a wave of knowledge about Beijing folklore, and then devote herself to creation?
This small courtyard has designed a variety of courses around the theme of intangible cultural heritage, such as making monkeys, painting rabbits, painting faces, making tie-dyes, etc., which are very popular with friends of all sizes. The teachers are also super patient, not only the guidance can also talk about the story behind it. If there are fewer people, you can talk more with the teachers, and you can harvest a lot of cultural stories of old Beijing!
Handmade slow time Appreciate the spirit of craftsmanship
A good handicraft shop is attractive, and large and small wooden works are such a shop. Push open the door, follow the rainbow staircase, and fall into another world at once. Full of cool hardcore tools, the natural atmosphere emitted by various colors of logs, which baby will be instantly interested.
Parents who have heard here say that the teachers not only explain in detail, but also have fun and humor, and the children will slowly follow the teacher to immerse themselves in it, and in a professional atmosphere, the baby will completely focus on this. Children with two or three brushes often come here to slowly polish their beloved things. That attentive process really made parents feel that "the child's serious appearance is the most adorable".
The variety of carpentry work you can choose from here is also unmatched by other shops, from a spoon to a giant ship, you can try to make it. There are also various guns that make the male dolls unable to extricate themselves, and the romantic ukulele that the female babies love.
The boss hangs a picture in the most conspicuous place of the store, writing "Craftsman Spirit", presumably on the one hand, the purpose of opening his own store, on the other hand, he also hopes that the children can use a quiet afternoon to focus on their own works, and they can appreciate the sincere truth of doing things.
Magic beauty costumes are conjured by hand
This shop will definitely make all the girls intoxicated. It is hidden in a high-end community, called the Glyconucleus Children's Meishang Research Institute. It's quiet and private, and everyone who doesn't know thinks it's a café. But as soon as I pushed open the door, I walked into a treasure design store. The gorgeous accessories, various professional sewing machines, and well-designed manuscripts alone are enough to amaze the babies.
Some mothers said that this shop is "magical", and the main teacher who takes the children to "cast magic" is actually a graduate of a british art school, and other teachers are also graduated from major fashion art colleges in the world. The high level of coffee and the super patience allow children to use their creativity and imagination to immerse themselves in the gorgeous art world. Mothers, on the other hand, can safely hand over their children to the teacher, or have a cup of coffee on the side, or go for a stroll at the nearby Hopson Hui.
The course here is not a simple half-day experience, and the teachers have also designed a variety of different forms of courses, such as Hanfu Camp, Multi-day Camp, etc. Creative craft-themed birthday parties for kids can also be held here, and the children who have come here will never return.
Library + Bakery Taste books and eat beautiful points
Many friends have experienced baking DIY with their babies, but have you ever thought of a delicious trip in the library? There is really such a bakery that combines food and stories. Children can participate in the whole baking work here, and the raw materials are all additive-free and low in sugar and oil. When the finished product is baked, you can choose a favorite book, so that the waiting time for food is no longer long.
The "unprofessional" library is actually 7 years old, the owner is a baker himself, still learning positive discipline courses, and participating in the organization of many family camp activities. In the process of gathering, celebrating birthdays and baking, the instructors will pay attention to cultivating the social skills between children and the communication skills with their families.
A small forest under your hands A piece of nature in your heart
Passing by the "Kiyoku Nature" shop, children will definitely stop to take a look, because the lush storefront is so pleasing to the eye. When you really walk into the store, it is easy to move the scenery, and the green eyes make the mood suddenly refreshing. The main landscape DIY here is a maintenance-free ecological green plant, even if it is a plant "killer" adult and child, you can also have the courage to raise your own small plants here.
The shop is neatly equipped with various colors of soil, sand and gravel, as well as cute animals and anime shapes, testing the aesthetic and collocation ability of the baby from the beginning of the basic micro-landscape. However, with the kind guidance of the young lady in the store, the parents of the handicapped party do not have to worry about it. The children of the second brush often choose to make a loving natural home for small fish and turtles, and even the ecological tank of lizards, frogs and hermit crabs, which is richer in form and of course the challenge is greater, but when the child completely relaxes to do it, he will forget the cumbersome and gradually feel that the natural ecology has a beautiful and complete life in his hands. When you finally finish your work, you will be happy to take off!
Landscape DIY to take home will need a lot of maintenance, so I have to mention that the after-sales service of this store can answer any questions in time. When a plant withers, you can take it to the store to replace it.
It must be remembered that during the epidemic period, not only should you do the necessary protection when you go out, but also make an appointment by phone in advance before going. I hope that friends big and small can successfully fall in love with handmade crafts and enjoy the endless fun brought by hands-on!
