A few handicraft works of mine

Yeah I do the exact same thing Emma!

These toys are wonderful and are quite inspiring. It makes me want to do something! I used to make a lot of things out of ice lolly sticks when I was younger. Houses, boats, airplanes. It's a lot of fun!

Thank you all xD

I used these mouth-sticks from the doctor, where you have to say : Ahhh. I built another little climbing-wall-thig with them und then I paint it with food colouring xD Ice lolly Sticks are also a good idea! I have enough time to make toys, because I wait for march next year when I'll study. It really makes fun and is a good hobby

I like Trixie-toys as well as you, but unfortunally most of them are made from pinewood which is full with essential oils and adhesive resin

Sorry, what's wrong with Trixie toys? My hamster has so many of them!

[Nappo]

Sorry xD
Like you know, many things are different in germany, the people are over paranoid - We shouldn't use pinewood because of the things i mentioned before:"full with essential oils and adhesive resin"
I'd like to show you a scientific text about pinewood, but it's in german.

People here aren't generally that concerned about pine, the European pine trees contain much lower levels of the oils (phenols being the ones that cause problems) than those in the US or Canada which are the ones that tend to be studied. The biggest problem is that they are compounds are volatile - so they evaporate. So fresh pine wood has lots of toxic oils coming out into the air. Once the wood has been left out in the open for a decent length of time then these compounds have all gone, so it is safe.

Oooo well done they look fab and fun!

@internet nobody

Thanks for the explanation to the pinewood. I always thought that we are to extrem over protecting XD I never could imagine that dry wood could resinate anymore, but i believed what was told to me ö__ö I should learn, that hamsters are no uncooked eggs xD

You've made some great things, it is very inspiring!

[Nappo]

Next time i will try these Jenga-things or modelling clay xD
