Rainbow - Design wish cloud

We asked ourselves this question during the Rainbow Wishing Clouds course at the Malzirkus.

"First we talked about our wishes and dreams.

Then each child could design their own dream cloud to their heart's content. The spraying technique was ideal for this, as you can quickly achieve magical effects and the colours mix wonderfully.

After After cutting out the cloud, we needed holes for the rainbow threads. We used hole punch pliers for this, a previously unknown tool for many children.

Then it got a little tricky: the coloured threads had to be threaded through the holes and fastened with a loop. This didn't work straight away, but the sense of achievement was all the greater when we finally got the hang of it.

We had a bit of everything: creative design, manual work, precise coordination and fine motor skills. The children mastered the task brilliantly and were full of pride in their finished wish clouds.

The cloud that a child made for his sick sister, wishing her a speedy recovery, was particularly touching.

By creating the wish clouds, the children were able to express their innermost wishes and hopes, which strengthened their emotional development and self-confidence.

The creative process offers an opportunity to process feelings and to deal with one's own thoughts and dreams in a playful way.

The manual work, such as cutting, punching and threading, requires precise coordination and promotes fine motor skills.

Such activities support the development of important motor skills, which are of great importance for children's everyday lives. At the same time, manual work strengthens concentration and stamina.

The sense of achievement when the task has been mastered contributes significantly to increasing self-esteem.

It was a lot of fun and your wishes will definitely come true!" - Sarah Uessem
