Image
  If you’re looking to buy a lovingly handmade play teepee tent for your kids , then you’re in the right place here at Barnshenn, but as a crafter myself, I also understand the desire to jump in and make your own. After doing some research, I’ve gathered DIY teepee tutorials from all around the web. They have varying levels of difficulty and material costs, so you can choose the one you’re most comfortable with. Get your crafting kit ready, and clear a space. It’s time to make your own teepee at home! 4 Steps to Make a Teepee Tent for Kids   Step 1: Drill the holes First things first, to start building your DIY teepee tent, you’ll need to drill a hole in each wooden dowel. Our advice is to use a drill bit that is slightly larger than the diameter of your rope. Drill the hole approximately 20to25 cm from the top. Once all of the holes have been drilled, smooth the area down with sandpaper — we don’t want any nasty splinters! Step 2: Tie the dowels together with rope Lie the woo...

8 Benefits of Play Kitchen for Children

Image
  Play kitchens are a great way to encourage little ones to play different roles and give them the freedom to explore imaginative scenarios in a fun way. Read on to discover some of the great benefits that using play kitchens can have for your children. Creativity and imagination By using a play kitchen set, children can inspire their imagination.

What can we learn from a doll’s house?

Young children delight in engaging in pretend play and enacting scenarios using miniature versions of their worlds or fantasies. Dollhouses, a beloved toy in my childhood, offer the unique opportunity to personalise it. You can either construct one yourself if you're creative and possess exceptional DIY skills, or even purchase one and customise it with colours, scenes, and dollhouse accessories to suit your preferences. Playtime is one of the most important things of childhood. With imaginary play, your children can create a whole other world by being able to play imaginary things together; however, with a dollhouse, it doesn’t always need to be imaginary, but a little imagination certainly helps. By adding a dollhouse to your home, it’s amazing to see the number of things children will discuss, learn, and imagine together. There’s so much potential for vocabulary and life skills to be learnt from this addition to your playtime. Plus, it’s a place to help kids work through life’s ...
