The best improvisational artists are mothers
Anyone who constantly juggles with diaries, cooking spoons, Lego cars, lipsticks and screwdrivers in everyday life will quickly learn: improvisation is everything. And if in doubt, access what's available. Ovens are quickly carved out of cardboard boxes, dust feathers are turned into elbow pads or eggs are placed in lids.
See the seven winners selected by our jury and many other wonderful photos of things that have been misappropriated.
Sabine Czerwinski has turned dusters into elbow pads for crawlies: "Our little one has been red-elbowed from slogging on to the carpet in the short-sleeved body - better than being changed, these elbow pads have fallen out of dust cloths - now he just has to be smart enough to dust off the shelves."
Family Czerwinski wins a bike trailer Corsaire from Chariot. Congratulations!
Stefanie Meyer has come up with a creative sunhat: "We were surprised by the sun in the playground, unfortunately I did not have a Sonnhut with me." But for a bread bag.
Stefanie Meyer wins a Coast Guard boat from Carrera RC. Congratulations!
The children of Judith Schmidt use a skateboard as a menu tray: "MEike Optimaler Mittagtisch: No shade at the table? Our three kids quickly grabbed the skateboard and turned it into a table. "
Family Schmidt wins a Coast Guard boat from Carrera RC. Congratulations!
Janine Görke, who extended the tap with a whisk, also proved improvisational art: "Our daughter can use the faucet extension independently operate the tap, which saves us parents a lot of time and certainly some nerves."
Family Görke wins a Coast Guard boat from Carrera RC. Congratulations!
Three ideas for improvisation were presented by Sandra Seiffart: 1. Who needs hair curlers, if you have aluminum foil at home 2. Stylish hoods made of plastic bags (in any case, more colorful than the originals!) 3. Sun, weekend shopping with baby, four bags and just visit - that leaves annoying sweat spots under The armpits., Unless you resort to commercially available panty liners, which one sticks into the T-shirt (under the armpits).
Sandra Seiffart wins a shopping voucher á 50 Euro for fairretail.de. Congratulations!
Cardboard oven or baking carton? The Martin family creatively reworked an old carton: "We needed cheap interiors for our daughter's garden playhouse, so we made this oven out of an old cardboard box and existing materials from the loft."
Family Martin wins a shopping voucher á 50 Euro for fairretail.de. Congratulations!
Kristina Murata spooning her eggs from pacifier bottle lids: "When our daughter was little, my dad kept the lids of her pacifiers for eggcups, and they've become just that."

For bike racers: a trailer of Chariot
The Chariot Corsaire is more than just a child trailer for the bike: With a few simple steps and without any tools, he transforms himself into a buggy, a jogger or a hiking-sulky with different sets. A stable passenger cell, a push bar acting as a roll bar and the frame-fixed 5-point harness system with padded chest straps provide the necessary security. An individually adjustable leaf suspension guarantees maximum ride comfort? even with longer tours. Enough space for luggage is also available - the next bike ride can come!
We are giving away a Chariot Corsaire single-seater incl. Bicycle set worth 629 Euro.

For leisure captains: three Coast Guard boats from Carrera RC
Thus the trip to the bathing lake becomes the Ocean Race: Das Coast Guard Boat "Falshöft" from Carrera RC sweeps across the water at speeds of up to 20 km / h and can be precisely maneuvered thanks to stepless remote control. To avoid crash landing, the boat has safety propellers that shut off as soon as they stop touching water. Just like in reality, the Falshöft Coast Guard has a sounding ship horn and a loudspeaker that provides free travel on the water via a microphone with personal announcements from the Carrrera captain. Now you just have to convince dad that he sometimes leaves the kids behind the wheel ...
We are giving away three Carrera RC Coast Guard boats Falshöft worth € 129.90 each.
