super mum ZF!

Is Miss A old enough to use scissors? Could make snowflakes (fold a circle of paper in half then in half again and make little cuts out of the folded side). If she can't use scissors you could do that bit, then they could just decorate them with glitter/paint etc. Tie a length of string onto one side and you can hang them up. Maybe more of a christmas/winter project though!
Finger painting or potato painting?

Man i dont know why this thread never shows up in my subscription!!

anyway, our local spotlight store is having a closing down sale. They have bags of junk for $5. I bought soo man bags, LOL sure is junk but so worth it. Theres lots of ribbons, paint, paint brushes, buttons, nik nax, but its pick of the drawer.

DD now has 3 large box full of craft stuff LOL!!!!!!!!!!

and all she plays with is masking tape, paint, paper and her scissors!

ZF, I used to save heaps of carboard stuff. Cereal & tissue boxes, egg containers, tags off new clothes, old birthday cards, etc... Anything basically that can be cut & glued onto another piece of paper & I would stock up on those cheap glitter glue pens, pom poms, glitter, those sticker number & letters & I would just bring the whole box out & the kids would cut, paste, colour, draw & stick until their hearts are content.

Now that my girls are a bit older, I'm eyeing off those paper punch things that are in all different shapes, KWIM? & some beautiful paper so they can make their own birthday cards for friends & family.

Craft honestly makes my girls worlds go round. I get jack of the mess, but honestly, they enjoy it soooooooooooooo much.

OMG ZF you wouldnt know what happend and i must tell you!!

I went to Target to check the art table and at first id idnt see it but i saw one that had the train set. THen there was a box ripped and it had white legs and i thought, the train set is blue how can it have white legs

Have made a few crafty things the last couple of weeks, am uploading pics now, will put on a BB album and link here then explain

CRAFT ALBUM

We made a fish tank, bird & frog out of plastic plates (paper would be easier but we didn't have any)

Basically we painted the plates and let them dry then we glue on
Fish tank: fish shapes we cut out of colored paper and used glitter for scales and pipe cleaners as coral we also glued on some blue streamers as the 'sea'.

Bird - cut out hand prints then glued massive bright feathers to each of the fingers, then glues to the back to look like wings, used the triangle piece from an egg carton, painted it and used as a beak

Frog - milk bottles with black texta for eyes, a pipe cleaner for the mouth and red streamer for the tongue :P

Today's adventures were collecting branches, leaves and sticks from different trees etc around the house, adding those pics now
