We made toilet paper tube bracelets. They were so simple and a lot of fun. All I did was take about a 1/2 inch slice of tubing out straight down the center, then i cut each roll into 6 bracelets. The girls then chose 3 colors of paint and painted their bracelets. Once they were dry, we decorated them with beads/googly eyes/gems etc. Whatever they wanted out of the craft box was fair game.
here is what we ended up with, they are really cute.
Today, we brought back an old bath craft. Remember the one we did a few months ago where the kids got to use the foam and decorate the bathtub with it? Well, I brought that one back, mainly because we were sooo strapped for time. We were out of the house ALL day, and got home in time for the girls to eat a few bites of a grilled cheese and get to bath. It had been awhile, and I knew that they had fun last time. This time though, their designs were so much more cohesive. They needed no direction or instructions and they had a lot of fun. I was proud of them!
Call it cheating, but hey, at the Greenhouse today, they did chalk, they flew kites, played with bubbles, today was full of all sorts of different enrichment so I was ok with bringing back an old craft.
