Kids Crafts: Bathtub Soap Crayons And Song For Children. How to Make Non-Obnoxious Alphabet Magnets. Okay, okay.
Non-obnoxious isn’t a word. But neither is unobnoxious. Not really, anyway. Bath Crayons. Hello there!
If you are new here, you might want to for updates. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. Come back soon! Guest Post by Katie Hostetter from Frugal Femina I visited my cousin this summer on my way to a wedding. Capture the Details: Easter egg craft - suncatchers! The kids and I made some pretty Easter egg decorations for our sliding glass door.
They are super easy to make, too! You will need: crayons in pretty colors, a crayon sharpener (usually built in to the larger crayon boxes), wax paper, invisible thread, a small hole punch, an iron and old towels. I chose bright 'girly' colors for my eggs and so did Sarah. Ben chose darker 'boy' colors. Start by peeling the back end of a crayon and sharpening it onto a piece of wax paper that is on top of old towels (the crayon wax can seep through the wax paper). Let the shavings fall evenly. When you are happy with your shavings piles place a second sheet of wax paper over the top and another old towel over that. Let the paper cool - it won't take long - and then hold it up to the light to inspect your work!
Create an egg template from heavy cardstock and trace the shape onto the wax paper. Here is my pile - Benny and I held them up to the light... Some close-ups..... Happy Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life in general: yarn bowls. Okay, here's how it goes.
It's super easy and just a little bit messy. ;) Supplies: yarn + glue + bowl Prep: Cover a bowl with plastic wrap. Or use a balloon as your form. (I think these look pretty.) Method: Dip yarn into glue. *Once the bowls were constructed I considered brushing on some liquid starch (just to help stiffen the yarn) but I didn't get around to it. The kids had a fun time with this project. The other two needed help from time to time. The other one loved the project, repeatedly complimented everyone's "awesome" bowls, and made a good effort until she ran out of steam and I finished the bowl. Bottom line . . . it kept them busy for an hour, yes there was lots of hand-washing and wiping but the mess was contained to 1/2 of the dining table (not too bad), and they all ended with a project they were proud of. Butterflies. I saw this craft after the years of different butterfly punch art and i was finally ready. i had pictures of annie painting the paper but they have disappeared. the first step is to watercolor paint on paper.paint all over with pattern or with out....less water makes for brighter colored paint.and let it dry. then punch out as many butterflies as you can. i bought this martha stewart butterfly punch at joann's.they are not cheap but it was on sale and they do have 40% off coupons quite often.and THAT punch is really cool.VERY easy to use!
It's in two pieces so you can punch out from any part of the paper not just on the edge.VERY COOL.i get why it costs more than the other brands....quality.it's martha! We used 10x10 canvases also from joann's....i wished i had bigger canvases....like 20 x 20 would have been great! The girls painted them with acrylic paint. it was fine to have the streaks in the paint....i liked it. MY GREEN SIDE · Photo Friday – Crayon Hearts. We spent an afternoon making crayon hearts for Little Greek goddess’s classmates for Valentine’s Day.
A friend of mine suggested the craft because she knows how I love to reuse and my aversion of sugar. We were so pleased at how they turned out… they’re adorable! Here’s all the information in case we’ve inspired you to make this cute and practical Valentine’s craft: Materials Crayon pieces (Tip: dip crayon pieces in warm water to make removing the paper a lot easier)Heart-shaped metal cookie or muffin tin Scrap paperDouble-sided foam mounting tapeScissorsColored card stockMarker Instructions Heat the oven to 250°. Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes (Tip: Place a sheet pan under the crayons to catch any drips). Tutorial: Homemade Sidewalk Chalk.
By Michelle Vackar, Modern Handmade Child One of our favorite outside activities at our home is drawing with chalk on the driveway.
You can play hopscotch, four-square, and of course draw and create silly stories. My daughters and I were talking one day as we played hopscotch about how to make chalk and I thought to myself, let’s try it! It ended up being quite a lot of fun.
