Softie Paratroopers
I dream of printing off pictures of our family and making them into the paratroopers for my little guy.

Materials:
Blue, Purple or Black Yarn
Blue, Purple or Black Yarn
Black Pipe Cleaners
Wiggly Eyes
Scissors
Glue
1. Wrap yarn around extended hand, about 50 times or until yarn wrapping is thick around hand. 2. Introduce 3 pipe cleaners (about 4" long each) through yarn wrapping, letting them stick out each side. 3. Use a long piece of yarn (about 5" long) to tie yarn wrapping at the center, together with pipe cleaners. Have someone help you tie wrapping and cleaners tightly so the cleaners won't come out or move. 4. Take out your hand and cut the ends of the wrapping and mess up yarn ends to make it look like a pompom. Bend pipe cleaners down to make the spider's legs. 5. Glue the wiggly eyes to the front of the spider... that's it! |
Salt Dough recipe
Just mix a cup and a half of salt, four of flour and about two cups of water. Mix with a spoon until it starts to become well-stirred, then continue mixing by using your hands to knead the dough until it's ready.
You can ornaments, beads for threading, or just a random shape to paint and show off to daddy when he gets home. The possibilities are endless.
Sandpaper Crayon Art
Sandpaper Art'
Cut out a piece of sandpaper, the more coarse the better. Allow the children to draw a picture on the rough surface with leftover crayons. Once the sandpaper is all colored, place in the oven on an old cookie sheet at low. It makes a bit of a waxy smell, but once the pictures are melted on the sandpaper, let dry and you have an art piece to cherish. It is worth it!
