Why DIY projects with kids are important and how to finally actually do them

In today's fast-paced and hectic world, parents often lack that most precious time. Time to sit down, breathe, and dedicate ourselves to our children. And that half an hour of shared attention often makes a huge difference. It doesn't have to be anything big, it doesn't have to be perfect, and it doesn't have to last for hours. All it takes is a little patience, a little creativity, and a sincere desire to spend quality time together.

DIY projects are perfect there. They are an opportunity to connect, to be present and to create memories. And the best thing is, children don't remember how long something took or how it looked. They remember that they were with us. That they made, glued, painted, made a mess, laughed and enjoyed something we do together.

Why DIY activities are important

DIY projects are not just a game. They develop motor skills, imagination, concentration, logical thinking and patience. Through simple creative tasks, children practice coordination, learn new concepts, learn to follow steps and enjoy the result they have created themselves.

And for parents? It is that half hour of peace and presence. It's an opportunity to be a part of their little creative world. To watch them grow and how their eyes shine when they finish something they made with their own hands.

The problem is always the same: we don't have time and we don't have all the material

I know how many times I want to sit down with my kids and make something beautiful. But then I realize I'm missing two things. Or three. Or that I can only find the materials I need in the fifth store. Or that some kind of mini logistical nightmare arises about what needs to be prepared.

I also know that parents have the desire, but not always the possibility. In the rush between work, home, obligations and a hundred small activities, sometimes it's hard to even imagine that we still need to plan and prepare all that. And that's when DIY activities fall into the background.

That's why I designed the Happy Box

It was for this reason that the idea of the Happy Box was born. A more beautiful, simpler and fully prepared option for all parents who want to play with their children, but need a little organization, inspiration and time saving.

The happy box will contain:

• game suggestions for colder and rainy days

• creative DIY projects designed by me

• all the materials you need for each activity

• clear instructions on how to play the game

• inspiration for shared moments

Imagine just opening a box and it's all there. No trips to the shops, no searching around the house, no hassle. Just you, your child and the fun that starts the moment you open the lid.

I believe that this winter's DIY projects will be the most beautiful so far

This project is especially dear to me because I know how much it will mean to moms who want to give their children something nice without spending hours on preparation. I believe that this winter there will be many more creative works, more shared moments and more little memories that will remain in the hearts of our children.

Sometimes those thirty minutes are enough. A little imagination. One thing we do together. And one box that facilitates everything that goes before that.

I look forward to bringing inspiration to your homes through the Happy Box and helping moms who want to be present, not perfect. Because love is in the little things, and children know that best.
