[kawazuki]

i Have a book here somewhere called 365 craft things for kids.

some are to advanced but some are like ships out of tissue boxes.
tv out of cereal box.
stained glass windows with cellophane,
fishes out of paper plates.
paint squish butterflies ( dollop few bits of paint in middle of page and fold in half and squish

love those butterflies hun sooo cute

lanterns with paper, fold paper in half length ways, get girls to cut strips or diagonals then unfold and join the short ends together to make a circle.. very sweet

Childhood 101 has some great ideas every week too

Polystyrene shapes they can decorate (we made hearts this week)
Dye some rice with food colouring and then they 'draw' with white glue and sprinkle the rice on
oh Kawazuki we made lanterns this week too!

I always have a pad of coloured paper, newspaper, old scrapbook papers (DD loves it when I clean out my scrapbook stash).
Shaving cream prints are fun - I either use the table outside or the paddling pool to contain it

Wow so many great ideas there guys!!! Ah I loved Mister Maker while it was on ABC and DS got really excited watching it with me.....but he just has no interest in anything other than crayons and colouring books!!
When I have tried to set up some painting or cut and paste type things he gets angry, throws the paint brush or whatever at me and runs away lol he's not 2 yet so Im kinda hoping its just a phase lol

Oh Oh more ideas, am keeping the bottle tops to use as 'wheels' on things am thinking of buying some patty pans.
I have just figured out the take and toss cups fit inside the girls art cabinet PERFECTLY so will buy some of these and put their bits and pieces in them aswell as the zip bags and stuff we are currently using.

Does anyone else have THIS (1 & 2) art centre.. it's AMAZING, both girls fit at it and they LOVE it.
