JUST AN ADDED NOTE!
Our kids as well us adults, can get quite wrapped up on our laptops, computers, or playstations and we can overlook the fact that our eye will ultimately suffer.
Too much gazing on light emanating from our screens can tire our eyes and in hand even though we have had a good night sleep, your eyes would have paid dearly.
TIRED EYES!
Waking up with tired, burning or itching eyes with heavy a head is due to overworked eyes.
We all need to take care of our eyes and there is a simple solution….Yes limit the amount of time your kids have access to their techno gadgets, but also to follow this rule.
HOW TO HELP YOUR EYES!
20-20 -20 rule. Every 20 minutes look away find an object about 20 feet way for 20 seconds.
By looking at an object at least 20 feet away relaxes the eyes. Looking at something close up for a long time will strain the eyes.
PALMING!
I find ‘palming’ helps relieve my eyes and relax them, this is the process of rubbing the palm of your hands together and placing them gently over your closed eyes for about five minutes sometimes even longer.
THE OUTCOME!
With the warmth from your hands and by blackening out the light, will make such a difference to your eyes. Your eyes will feel revitalised and refreshed.
It’s like wrapping up your eyes in warm blankets and giving them tender loving care. You should try it and see for yourself!
TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME!
Also looking at the screen too long reduces your blinking and you would get dry eyes, known as ‘dry eye syndrome’ so blinking rapidly will help lubricate the eyes.
I know this is alot to take in, but simply keep an eye on your kids, so to speak!
What a great idea! And I love that you provide step-by-step instructions for the shoe box laptop. I’m not that talented in terms of crafts … so this is definitely helpful! Thank you!
Hi Katharina, I am so glad you like this project! I love to inspire
kids and adults to try and be inventive and make interesting projects
like this fun laptop!
Also my aim is to get kids to recycle as much throw-outs as they can
and be creative at the same time!
Thanks for your comment and I believe anyone can put together this
shoe box crafts in no time, just follow my instructions. Give it a go!
Happy Crafting!
