Folding T-shirt Skill

Have you spent several minutes trying to fold a t-shirt. Well on this post, I will show you this easy method where you will be able to fold a t-shirt in 3 seconds. 

This is an easy skill to learn which will be great for you to do on your own but most importantly impress your parents as well.

The method:

Start by lying your shirt on its back

 

Next, draw an imaginary line halfway between the top and bottom of the T-shirt as shown here

 

Add another line about halfway between the centre line of the T-shirt and the outside edge about here

The point where the lines cross will be point A, the top point will be point B and the bottom point C

Start by pinching your shirt at point A with your left hand and point B with your right hand

 

Then cross your right hand over to pick up point C

 

Quickly unfold your arms

Finally, fold the shirt back on itself

 This method works for any short-sleeved from T-shirts to polo tops to shirts.

With practice, you'll be able to do this method and even quicker than me. 😛

Leaf Hedgehogs Craft

 Age Range: 4-11

Equipment needed: A4 sheet paper, black felt tip pen, brown leaves and PVA glue or stick glue

Leaf Hedgehogs Craft
With leaves already heavily fallen from the trees, I thought it would be fun on this blog post to get crafty with them and make this leaf hedgehogs craft.🦔

 This craft activity is fun to do and teaches children about the use of different kinds of leaves.

You only require a handful of materials as seen by the image below.

 Leaves you do use must be really dry as they will wrinkle afterwards if they are not

 

To make your own leaf hedgehogs craft:

 

 Draw a line coming from the side of your leaf for the mouth and a circle on top for the eye

 

Draw hedgehog spikes on the leaf and you can draw as many as you would like to

 

On your other leaf, draw a line from the side for the mouth and a similar circle on top for the eye of your hedgehog

 

Like before, draw another set of hedgehog spikes on your leaf

 

Glue both leaves down on your piece of paper with either stick glue or PVA glue

Draw little legs on your leaf by adding two pairs of small lines heading down on the bottom of your leaf similar to the image below

Add another two pairs of small legs to your other leaf like the ones you have previously drawn

 

You have made your own leaf hedgehogs

Feel free to make how ever many you would want to with your leaves
