Mother’s Day crafting at Roostiku School

Crafting with a large group doesn’t have to mean that teachers need to figure out the whole activity from scratch. Ahead of Mother’s Day, Roostiku School ordered herbal soap DIY kits from the Örreke e-shop so that children could make a personal, handmade gift for their mothers.

With the help of the kits and detailed instructions, the teachers conducted the crafting session at school themselves. A total of 62 third-grade children participated, creating handmade soaps along with decorated packaging.

A gift that children could make themselves

Roostiku School had used Örreke DIY kits before. Before Christmas, the children made mosaic jars using Örreke kits. Following that good experience, they also wanted an activity for Mother’s Day that would be easy to carry out with a large group at school.

Soap making was a great fit for this. The activity was manageable for third-grade children, related to Mother’s Day, and resulted in a gift that could actually be used.

A ready-made kit made the teachers’ job easier

Roostiku School ordered herbal soap DIY kits from the Örreke e-shop. The kits came with detailed instructions, which allowed the teachers to run the crafting session themselves.

Örreke also included several spare kits so that teachers could try out the process themselves before starting with the children. This made it easier to plan the activity and carry it out smoothly with a large group.

This time, Örreke did not conduct the workshop on-site, but was available to help and ready to answer questions if needed.

Soaps, packaging, and well wishes for mothers

During the crafting process, handmade herbal soaps were created. The children mixed herbs into the soaps, added scents, and folded wrappers for them. The packaging was decorated with plant pictures and well wishes for the mothers.

Feedback from the school was very positive:

“Our soap making went very well. Beautiful soaps and packaging were created. Children, mothers, teachers – everyone was happy. Thank you!”

An easy way to organize crafting for a large group

For this project, it was important that the crafting worked for a large group and didn’t require teachers to do all the preparation from scratch. Örreke DIY kits provided the school with ready-made materials, clear instructions, and the opportunity to carry out the activity according to their own schedule.

For the children, it was a creative and practical activity. Each child was able to make a gift for their mother that had personal value.

DIY kit or on-site workshop

Örreke DIY kits are suitable for schools, kindergartens, and hobby groups who want to carry out a creative and well-guided crafting session with children on their own premises. The kits can be ordered from the Örreke e-shop, and if needed, Örreke can help choose an activity that fits the children’s age, group size, and event theme.

If you can’t find a suitable kit or if teachers don’t have time to prepare and run the crafting themselves, Örreke can also come to help. In that case, we come on-site, bring the necessary materials, and lead the workshop with the children from start to finish.
