Princess Tower. Bricos enfants. Bricos enfants. Fire breathing dragons. This past weekend we had one of those lazy Sundays where we stayed inside all day and did craft projects, house DIY projects, lots of baking, game playing, etc. Isn’t that the best feeling, waking up on a Sunday morning with your husband and kids and having nothing you have to do that day, nowhere to go?! It’s one of my favourite feelings in the world.

We made these fire breathing dragons, and it was a really fun project. There are several ways to make them (I spotted the idea on Pinterest and changed it up a bit).

The Activity Mom: Sorting Colors (printable) I’ve been working with N (24 months) on sorting and colors. I made this Color Sorting Printable to use on our new magnetic white board. Just print, cut, laminate, and attach magnetic tape to the back of each piece. Don’t have a magnetic board? Use the fridge or sort them on the floor!

Line up the color words on the left or on the top and line up the matching colored objects below/beside the labels. If using all six colors is overwhelming, sort two colors at a time. There are so many possibilities on how you can use this Color Sorting Printable! Clipart from clker.com. Comment faire un modèle de la Terre avec des assiettes en carton.

A creative mama doing creative things!: DIY Wax Paper Lantern. With a busy toddler, sometimes it can be hard to come up with something fun to make that will keep her interested and, most importantly, learn something once we're done. This kid's craft covered a little bit of construction skills, colors and color-mixing, and creating unique artwork. With a few simple supplies, you can create a cute and colorful wax paper lantern and have a great time! To make a wax paper lantern, you'll need: Wax Paper {any brand should work great} Crayons in multiple colors Iron Scrap Paper or Newspaper *Depending on the age of the child, I would highly recommend a bit of adult supervision. Step 1: Cut or tear a piece of wax paper off the roll about 10-12 inches long. Step 2: Depending on how hard you or your child can color, you can color your own design on one half of the wax paper sheet.

Step 2.1: Since we couldn't draw a dark enough image, we did the next best thing: place crayon shavings into separate paper cups. Now your lantern is done! Dazzling Sparkle Kids' Crafts.

I saw this idea over at the Family Fun Magazine and knew that we had to do this! I'm sure glad that we did! Don't these Robots look Fabulous? You'll need some recycled tin cans, various hardware pieces, plastic lids, pipe cleaners, strong disk magnets, and a hot glue gun. These robots inspired hours of imaginative play and were fun to create! First, we got together different pieces of hardware, lids, scrubbers, and pipe cleaners. Then we got our recycled tin cans together and some strong disk magnets.

Cassie had a lot of FUN just playing with the magnets and the metal hardware even before we put anything together! Here is C adding some hot glue to some plastic lids so she can attach the magnets. Here she is pleased with adding the magnets! After some of the magnets were glued to the hardware/lids, Cassie began to construct some robots. More play going on here! We added metallic pipe cleaners into the scrubbers for hair and then we were basically done.

Craft for OKIDO magazine. By Kate on April 24, 2011 The lovely people at Okido magazine asked me to do a craft project for their latest issue which is all about the weather. OKIDO is jam-packed full of things to keep little hands and minds occupied. Check it out…it’s just lovely! I made this ‘rainy day mobile’. It’s really simple – all you need is paper, thread and glue. Follow the diagrams below to construct the raindrops… …you can sew them too if you would prefer – then you only need to cut out two shapes for each drop – rather than four. I ♥ OKIDO – hooray!! Tortilla Tepee's. I was browsing through an issue of the Mailbox Magazine at the library a couple months ago (issue for Oct/Nov 2011) and saw this idea to make tepee's out of a tortilla. I've been so excited to make them with my kids during Thanksgiving time. I wanted my children to grasp the concept of how Indian's made shelter. First, we talked about how tepee's were a portable tent made of buffalo skin.

We picked up a couple of non-fiction books about Indians at the library that had pictures of tepee's also to help with our discussion. To make the tepee, glue two popsicle sticks together like pictured below. To make the buffalo skin, follow the directions in the pictures below. My favorite part was watching the kids draw pictures on their tepee's with markers. Here is Andy's drawing. Luke drew a big cobra snake slithering through the grass on a sunny day with birds flying in the sky. After making the drawings, it's time to assemble the tepee. I like to link my posts up to THESE great link parties. (1) BRICOLAGE ENFANT/GARDERIE. PandaDanbo_Papercraft.jpg (Image JPEG, 1600x1271 pixels) - Redimensionnée (52.

The material I used is as follows: - 5 straws; - construction paper sheets; - A paper plate, a piece of cardboard or Styrofoam tray depending on what you have; - String; - A pair of scissors; - A hot glue gun, but I guess you could use white glue allocating drying time long enough. I invite you to watch the following short video to show you the movement of a finger. Le matériel que j'ai utilisé est le suivant: - 5 pailles; - une feuille de papier construction; - une assiette de carton, une morceau de carton ou une assiette de styromousse selon ce que vous avez; - de la ficelle; - une paire de ciseau; - un fusil à colle chaude, mais j'imagine que vous pourriez utiliser de la colle blanche en allouant un temps de séchage assez long. Je vous invite à regarder le petit vidéo suivant pour vous montrez le mouvement d'un doigt. 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4.

Adorable owls! | happy hooliganshappy hooligans. This adorable owl craft is simple to make, and although owls are typically thought of as being a fall or hallowe’en animal, I think these little guys are cute enough to make at any time of the year. toilet rollsfabric scrapspaintgoogly eyesbuttons/gems/jewelsglueorange felt or construction paper (beaks) Start by squeezing the end of a toilet paper tube to form the ears of the owl. You can tape it in place, but I made ours up ahead of time, and used my glue-gun. Then have your hooligans paint the tubes. A paintbrush and some water keeps baby busy and happy while we’re crafting. Now it’s time to dec your owl out with wings, eyes, a beak and anything else you want to use – sequins, beads, buttons etc.

Aren’t they just too cute? Aren’t they so SWEET? Colorful Patterned Owls. We took a break from Halloween crafting this week by reading The Little White Owl by Tracey Corderoy and Jane Chapman. After completed our Little White Owl Craft we decided we wanted to make the colorful patterned owls depicted in the story too. Paper plates work so well to make owls, so we stuck with them on this project. Start by painting three small paper plates one color. After they are dry, use a different color to paint a pattern on one of the paper plates to use as the body for the owl.

We mimicked our favorites out of the story in the picture above. After the pattern is dry that you painted, take another one of the painted paper plates and cut it in half to use as the wings. Next, use a generous amount of school glue to attach the last paper plate to the body as the head of the owl. Lastly we cut a slit out of the top of the owls head to finish our owls.

Luke went with chevron stripes as his pattern... Andy liked the dotted owl in the book... And I went with a striped pattern... Life Cycle of a Chicken. To start off our learning about Birds, Luke and I made a "Life Cycle of a Chicken" poster the other day. I saw the idea in The Mailbox Magazine a while back. We started by reading some fun books about Birds. First, a DK Eye Wonder book called "Birds". I just found the Non-Fiction area in the library about Birds and grabbed a couple books that looked good. "Five Little Chicks" by Nancy Tafuri. "The Perfect Nest" by Catherine Friend. Then we set out to make our Life Cycle Poster. At the top of the egg we talked about how chickens start out as an egg. After the nest was complete, I cut out a small oval shape out of paper and Luke glued it into the nest. Then we discussed how the Mommy Chicken lays on her eggs to keep them the right temperature, while the birds grow inside the egg.

I cut out a larger egg out of paper and Luke glued it to the poster board. To keep it simple, I also used another oval egg shape to make our baby chick. Next, we made the grown chicken. Happy Crafting!! Facebook. (1) BRICOLAGE ENFANT/GARDERIE. Catherine Fortier.
