Christmas Gift Idea - Handmade Wooden Bead & Maze Toy


Little Ones love these so much. My Little Man still has his Wooden Bead & Wire Maze Roller Coaster that he got when he was about 2! He will not let me get rid of it for nothing. You can make one for a toddler that you know for very little money and very easy.

Use A piece of hardwood for the base. It can be any shape you want to make it. Drill 6 holes into the bottom of it that are the same size as your heavy gauge wire. The wire needs to have one end put into one side and secured on the bottom. Put some brightly colored wooden beads onto it and then twist it around , like a roller coaster or maze. Put it through one of the holes on the other side and secure it on the bottom. Repeat this with 2 more wires. Make it fun and twisty. Use bright colored wooden beads. Which come in all kind of styles! They even have some that are painted with the ABC's. Maybe put the child's name. That would be neat. A personalized, homemade gift. Something that will be loved.

How to Build a Hoop House Greenhouse for $50

 


 

How to Build a Hoop House Greenhouse for $50 - Off Grid World

 

This is what my son built last spring.  He had always wanted a greenhouse , but did not like the cost to buy one. He built a very big one and it worked so well that he was able to set up each weekend at a local farmer's market. Now , I am wanting one. My actual garden did not do very well this summer. Maybe if I have a greenhouse I can grow them better and keep them watered. The drought we had this summer was awful.
