knutselmomenten
Dutch to English
Other
The interactive learning package [for children] I'm translating has some assignments that have to be completed.
Some of these assignments are rather amusing, like the 'knutselopdracht'.
In one sentence it says:
"De website bevat enkele spelletjes en knutselmomenten".
Any of you remember the 'knutselmomenten' in school?

an additional note expanding on my comment to Jacqueline: handicrafts are basically everything applying to \'crafts performed using the hands\' and include things from woodworking to candlemaking and needlework. Because Gert\'s text involves a website for children, I feel \'arts & crafts\' is more applicable here. And is a more general term.

again, for Jacqueline: your definition of handicraft is 100% correct, only I still stick by my opinion that it is not the best choice here with reference to children.

Arts and crafts + primary schools = 98,200 Google hits, if we\'re going to get technical (so this is for the UK)\\
Arts and crafts + elementary schools = 93,200 Google hits (meaning U.S.)
Arts and crafts + daycamps = 62,100 Google hits
My point is, arts and crafts is the more commonly used term

For Alison: with 185 hits on Google on the combination of handicraft+\"primary school\"+site .co.uk I think handicraft is also pretty common for kids

: handicrafts zijn eerder activiteiten zoals breien, borduurwerk, macramé, e.d. IMO

quote: Handicraft, also known as craftwork or simply craft, is a type of work where useful and decorative devices are made completely by hand or using only simple tools. Usually the term is applied to traditional means of making goods.

writeaway
: little kids do arts and crafts; handicrafts in English is used for much more sophisticated work than little kids messing around doing arts and crafts.

free arts and craft activities
since we are talking about children,I suggest adding"free" to this.The word "knutselen" suggests an element of play and no specific plan.
