Quilling is the art of rolling narrow strips of paper into coils or scrolls, and arranging them to form elegant filigree. You can get the children to quill any design, just make sure to prepare a template first of all so they can follow a shape or pattern. You can buy Quilling pens and boards to help hold the rolled paper before sticking down but using your hands works just as well. Quilling is an extremely delicate technique and most children find it relaxing. It is great if you want a nice and quiet project for a week or two!
