Discover "La Jungle Des Créations"
✨ Supporting children in discovering the world ✨
Children have an endless curiosity, a deep desire to learn, and a contagious enthusiasm. How could we not want to guide them in their discovery of the world and watch them grow with confidence and wonder?
In everyday life, so many simple experiences can enrich their learning: creative activities, gardening, cooking, reading, or observing nature. These small, meaningful moments help them develop autonomy, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
As Maria Montessori once said:
“Play is the work of the child.”
So let’s turn learning into a vast playground where every activity becomes an adventure. School plays an essential role, but we, as parents and adults, have ours too: supporting children in their growth, curiosity, and self-confidence.
On this website, I share many creative activity tutorials with you—step by step and freely accessible—to inspire you and offer simple ideas you can easily recreate at home.
Create, explore, and learn through play.

✨ Giving children companions to cherish ✨
For the past two years, crochet has held a special place in my creative world.
I love imagining and creating small, soft, and endearing companions—bunnies, foxes, little hens, and other tender characters full of charm.
Each creation is carefully handmade using soft, high-quality yarns.
Some designs are available as detailed patterns so you can create them yourself, while others are offered as finished handmade soft toys, ready to find their place in a child’s room or to be given as a meaningful gift for a newborn.
Whether you are passionate about crochet or simply looking for a unique, handcrafted gift, you will find here creations made with love and care.
Activities for French-speaking families in Uppsala
Activities for learning, creating, and growing while having fun
Guiding children as they discover the world, nurturing their curiosity, and building their self-confidence: this is at the heart of everything I offer here.
Through creative activities, reading sessions, and workshops in French, children learn naturally—by experimenting, using their imagination, and having fun. Every experience becomes an opportunity to develop their creativity, independence, and understanding of the world around them.
Because growing up abroad is enriching but also challenging, it’s essential to maintain a strong connection to one’s native language and culture. The activities offered allow children to continue experiencing French in their daily lives, in a fun, supportive, and stimulating environment.

![🇬🇧 Star Ornament
It’s never too late to decorate the Christmas tree! 🌟
Here’s a simple and festive DIY to make beautiful star ornaments to hang on it.
To create one, I simply flattened a toilet paper roll and cut it into three strips, about 1 cm wide.
Then I either painted them (@darwi_world )* or covered them with pretty paper using some varnish-glue (@decopatch_officiel )*.
Next, I cut small triangles on each side of the strips, then glued them together using a hot glue gun (@cleopatre_collesetcouleurs )*.
Finally, I tied a piece of jute string in Christmas colors (@panduroofficial ) so I could hang it on the tree.

🇫🇷 Suspension étoilée
Il n’est jamais trop tard pour décorer le sapin !
Pour en créer une, j’ai simplement aplati un rouleau de papier toilette, que j’ai ensuite découpé pour obtenir trois lanières d’environ 1 cm de large.
Je les ai ensuite peintes (@darwi_world )* ou recouvertes d’un joli papier avec du vernis-colle (@decopatch_officiel )*.
Puis, j’ai découpé de petits triangles de chaque côté des lanières avant de les assembler en les collant les unes aux autres avec un pistolet à colle (@cleopatre_collesetcouleurs )*.
Enfin, j’ai noué un morceau de fil de jute aux couleurs de Noël (@panduroofficial ) pour pouvoir les suspendre.

Step-by-step:

2. Put it on top of the cardstock and fix it with sticky putty.
3. Using a ruler and your green pens, draw lines in all directions.
4. Remove the top paper.
