Make a creative wall holder for the kids' drawing paper
Do you have a toddler who loves to draw and engage in creative activities? Create a creativity corner where kids can let their imaginations loose.
Many children love drawing and can fill countless sheets with creative doodles. Instead, try hanging an entire paper roll with a creative DIY wall mount on the wall.
The wall mount takes about half an hour to make and requires no crafting experience. It's very budget-friendly and perfect for the kids' creativity corner.
Follow the step-by-step guide and create a creative corner where kids can draw, write numbers, and practise making letters to their hearts' content.
How to make a wall-mounted paper holder
What you need:
- Drawing paper roll
- Round wooden dowel that is approx. 20 cm longer than your drawing paper roll
- 2 recycled leather belts
- 4 screws (and wall plugs if needed)
- Scissors and pliers
- Manual or electric screwdriver
7: Fit the long leather belt over the paper with a screw on both sides
6: Mount the paper roll on the round dowel so that the paper can roll down the wall
5: Once bothstraps are mounted, attach the wooden dowel between the straps
TIP: Use a spirit level when attaching the straps so that the roll hangs completely horizontally.
4: Drill a screw through the holes in the strap and mount the strap on the wall
PLEASE NOTE: Some wall types, such as a brick wall, require you to use wall plugs for a durable result.
3: Cut anotherleather belt about 10 cm longer than the paper roll
Make a hole at both ends of the strap so it's easy to attach with screws afterwards.
2: Cut holes in the straps so they are easy to attach with screws afterwards
TIP: Make the first hole and then assemble the strap so you can see where the second hole should be placed. Once you've made a hole at each end of the first strap, you can use it as a template for the holes in the second strap.
1: Take arecycled leather belt and cut it into two straps of equal length.
The straps should be approx. 30 cm long.

Børnehjørne i stuen
Har du børn, der gerne vil være lige i nærheden af dig hele tiden, kan det være smart at indrette et børnehjørne i stuen, hvor der er plads til legetøj og kreative aktiviteter. Indret f.eks. et krea hjørne med Oakee bord og stol i børnehøjde, så dit barn kan sidde og fordybe sig i kreative aktiviteter. Du kan også indrette hjørnet med en fin træbænk, hvor flere børn kan sidde ved siden af hinanden og være kreative.
Det er en god idé at markere børnehjørnet med et blødt gulvtæppe, der er lunt at sidde på, hvis du f.eks. har træ- eller klinkegulv. Opbevaring af legetøj og krea-ting er også praktisk at tænke ind, når du indretter jeres børnehjørne. Det kan være i form af kasser eller kurve med låg, som kan organiseres og stables, når der skal ryddes op.
Krea hjørne på legeværelset
Kreative aktiviteter får god plads til udfoldelse, når du indretter et krea hjørne på legeværelset. Find et fint bord og en lille børnestol så der er plads til at tegne, og gem blyanter og papir væk i et rummeligt garderobeskab, hvor lågerne kan lukkes, når de kreative aktiviteter er afsluttede. Du kan pynte børnehjørnet med flagranker og en tal- eller bogstaveplakat, der kan sætte skub i kreativiteten.
En af de kreative aktiviteter som I kan lave i jeres nye krea hjørne, er pompon-billeder. Find alle garnresterne frem og lav dem om til de blødeste runde pomponer – du kan finde en trin-for-trin guide her.
Krea hjørnet kan hurtigt omdannes til et spille- eller læsehjørne, hvis I har mere lyst til det. Sjove børne puslespil, vendespil og tal-spil er alle aktiviteter, der både udfordrer børnenes fin motorik og logiske tænkning.
