Handmade bookmark

You will need your kids, a sheet of a simple green paper of 110-160 gr (you can use any colour you like) a puncher (i used a christmas tree hole puncher), some cutted paper ornaments (i cutted out the figures of some wrapping paper) and sticky glue.
The kids like to punch as well as gluing and putting the ornaments onto the bookmark. If your kid is able to cut out the ornaments of the wrapping paper you will need scissors too.

First of all

Staying at home with kids seems so easy of course because it is shown (on tv and in papers) like the easiest job of all. Celeb moms take the kids out for an icecream, or have fun in an adventure park. No babysitters, nanny or granny on the pictures, just laughing and happiness.
I used to be a private teacher (English teacher) in kindergartens, infantil schools and at families. I had to teach during an hour that can be difficult with kids at age 4-7.
I started to make small periods (5-10 min.) with different activities and that worked really well.
When my son was born i had to find out more to entertain him (entertain means - keep him interested in something).
This blog is about these activities which - i hope - will help a lot of teachers and mothers staying at home with the kids.
Don't forget - staying with kids can be very frustrating so don't feel ashamed if you have bad day.
