Klaus and Wolfgang will soon be going to summer camp. Both play checkers with preference. On the train journey or in bad weather, they would like to have their own game, but which shouldn't take up much space in the backpack. So you make a game yourself, namely like this: Klaus cuts two square pieces 13X13 cm from black paper, one of which is glued to the pre-cut cardboard. On the back of the other sheet he draws in pencil, 2,5 cm away from the tape, a square 8X8 cm and divides it into 1 cm wide spaces. It cuts neatly along these lines, so that a braided leaf results. Wolfgang has now made of white paper 8 Stripes each 10 cm long and also 1 cm wide cut, which he weaves into the black sheet. That of me 32 white and black fields is glued and pressed onto the pre-cut cardboard as a playing surface, until it's dry. Klaus tinkers the box part. Is glued 4 Cover together, he also sticks reference paper to the surfaces to be painted, like the face of the slider, To each of which a wooden bead is sewn. Finally, the whole piece of the box is glued between the two pieces of cardboard and weighted down a little to dry. – The boys saw the checkers at regular intervals from one 5 until 10 mm thick lantern stick and smooth the saw surfaces with sandpaper. 12 They color small stones with black ink or paint and then also apply colorless varnish, as with the white stones. – It did take a bit of work – but the joy in the successful work is now doubled.
knob cabinets
Working material: 8 Matchboxes, 8 Wooden beads, Reference paper.
Bärbel would like Mutti for her birthday with a nice one, surprise homemade gift. She had noticed, that all sorts of buttons in the sewing box, Twine and twist rolls through the layers. It was then that she got the idea, to tinker a button chest of drawers. 8 Bärbel sticks malicious covers on – and on top of each other and neatly covers all parts with colored reference paper. She spreads the glue line with a clean rag, so that no unsightly wrinkles form. While the dresser dries, Bärbel pasted the front sides of the boxes, so the slide, with reference paper and sew on a wooden bead each, so that the boxes can be pulled out better. Mummy was very happy about the practical gift, and dad said, that something like that is also good for collars – and use cufflinks.

Karla enjoys drawing and painting. Ever since she owned a large ink box with lots of bright colors, she is constantly looking for new motifs, which she puts on paper "artistically". And now she has even dared to take on a picture lottery.
Karla cuts four cards the size of each from strong cardboard 16 X 10 cm, which they first put in with a pencil 8 divides equally sized fields 4X5 cm. She draws all sorts of small objects in these fields, like toy animals, flower, House and garden tools, similar, as there are suggestions on the picture page. She paints the pictures in a very colorful way. Now she repeats the same work, because the hangers for the picture panels are still needed. The cards are cut out, and then the game can begin.
