For some reason I thought about hair when I was looking into the article for today. Since the kids wear uniforms to school, even Leonor has to tie her hair back. And finally her big sister is allowed to help (she was asking her all the time to braid or just do her hair but only on very rare occasions she got a yes!)!

So, since it is only 2 weeks (!!!) until Christmas, I thought that some simple and festive hairstyles for children ideas would be really good!

I hope you like the idea…

Because you probably got a nice dress already, the kids are excited anyway and having a lovely hair-do will just underline the whole festive spirit.

Here are some ideas, because often it is all we need. Some inspiration. Some ideas… a photo, and there we go:

Braids, braids, braids… decorated with a beautiful floral headband (this one is extremly lovely too).  And for the braids, just follow your kids’ wishes!

More simple as well as festive hairstyles for children:

A fishtail is always beautiful, add a bit more volume and start braiding from one side or go over to the other. Mid-length hair looks festive with a crown braid.

And? These are simple ideas that you can pimp with some accessories. Add some texture, crowns look very festive and maybe add a little sparkle from mum’s magic hair box.

We will definitely do a little hair session in our house. Little Josephine likes to get her hair done (by her big sister) as well and we will find some sparkling clips for her (still) baby hair.

Maybe I will also sit for a session. I admit, I love to get my hair brushed, it really relaxes me… and I let it grow at the moment. Oh… two more weeks. Unbelievable!

My 11 year old loves crafting! She loves to make, cut, sew, glue, design, colour or draw. And even so she is big enough now to do most by herself, I do enjoy helping her here and there. And I love that she makes little hand made gifts for her siblings birthdays or for Christmas.

Every project is teaching her some new skills or makes her improve the one’s already learned.

So when we received a box of fun creative kits for tweens and teens from French brand Djeco I had one happy camper at home. Carefully checking out each kit and discovering her new creative sessions.

What did we get?

We got a cute gift wrapping kit that includes all kinds of little bits and bobs for beautiful packages and decoration. She made some jewelry, got a sewing kit that she is using at the moment to make little bunnies for her sisters for Christmas.
And more… let’s have a look at the pictures:

She made garlands, really lovely garlands and a few already found a spot in her new room as well.

And next to the great projects, I personally love the design of all Djeco products. The boxes are always so pretty and the end results really can be put up and be enjoyed by the whole family.

Sensitive choices of colours, papers and prints. Delicate details that are not too tricky to assemble and always some surprising and new ideas…

Birdkids have one of the biggest online selections with lots of craft kits and more in stock!

Psssst… these kits are great gifts!

We received the craft kits as samples in order to write this review. Djeco is a brand we have in our house for a long time and that we truly like.
