Operation School Holidays

There are two things kids love - arts and crafts and playing games. This holiday combine the two and keep the kids entertained. The talented design team at Dandi have created a DIY Fabric Mobile that is fun to make and looks beautiful in any room of the house.

"Arts and crafts are a great way to occupy the kids during school holidays. Not only will they enjoy being creative, but it's the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with them" says Dandi founder and designer Caroline Davis.

The DIY Fabric Mobile is a great low-budget school holiday activity. Containing detailed instructions, a selection of Dandi's exclusive printed and plain dyed fabric, cutting templates, hanging ring and fishing wire, the only thing you and the kids will need to source are scissors, a needle and glue.

Set aside a day to create the mobile and have fun with your kids. Now that you have the template, all you need is additional fabric to create more. For an extra touch, kids can personalise their mobile with glitter or sequins.

Or even make it a game out of it - as Commanding Officer - enlist the kids as secret agents and inform them of their mission. The fact that they get to role-play and be crafty at the same time will create excitement and suspense. Tell them to keep the craft project a secret, even if they are tickled for answers. Choose a code word, select a secret location and have your agents wear special outfits. As Commander, instruct your agents how to create their mobile. Once finished, you could present the mobile to dad or nana or simply display it in their bedroom or even the lounge room.

With a range of craft projects to choose from including the Fabric Treasure Box and Lotus Flower, Dandi is inspiring Australians to create a beautiful home filled with personalised works of art.
