Create nail pictures together

„Wooden boards were used as the basis, which were first painted in colour. While the paint was drying, the children practised using hammers and nails. They were all allowed to try their hand at the test board. The „hammer rules“ were worked out together: small, precise movements, consideration for the person sitting next to you and, of course, taking good care of your fingers! Then it got loud: Hammering nails along the template - not so easy until everyone was firmly seated. The special thing: The motif only really became visible when it was wrapped in colourful wool.

This resulted in fantastic thread pictures - each one a small work of art. Working with tools and materials promotes concentration, coordination and confidence in one's own creative power. Nail pictures allow children to use a traditional tool in a creative context - a combination of art and craft. And, incidentally, moments of peace, pride and connection are created. Particularly valuable: the time spent together with mum or dad.

Creating something together, exchanging ideas, laughing, helping - this not only strengthens the family bond, but also creates memories that last. For many, it was a little break from everyday life and a conscious pause. Heart and hands were equally involved and a place at home was reserved for each work of art during the course.“ - Sarah Uessem
