Spring Scribbles

Today, we just had fun with craft! The kids thought it was so silly to make these scribble frames, they had a great time!

First I cut some butterfly shapes out of paper (you can do this with any shape)- make sure to fold the paper over and not cut to the edge, so it can be used as a frame. Remember, you are using the paper you cut from, not the actual shape you cut out. And, that was pretty much all I needed to do! I put the crayons, and paper on the table and let the kids start colouring.

They just have to scribble all over the page. They could draw something too, but we just scribbled!

Then we glued the cut out "frame" to the page! 

We are going to put ours in the glass frames we have on the wall! 

Day 20 of 25 Christmas Crafts

WOW- we only have 5 Christmas Crafts left! I can't believe it is almost that time of year!

Today we made gifts for parents/grandparents. They are reindeer picture frames, on a CD case so they will stand up!

First I collected everything we needed, the CD cases, white finger paint paper, brown paint, glue, googly eyes, and a pom pom for the nose.

The first thing we had to do was to paint each child's hands, and also the background for the picture- all painted brown.

Then, after that dries, we put it all together. We started by gluing the brown background onto the front of the CD case.

Then the handprint antlers.

Followed by the picture- the easies way to do this is to flip the picture and put the glue on the back of the picture!

Once the picture was on, we glued on the googly eyes, and the pom pom nose!

When you give the frame, show the recipient that you can open the case, so it stands up!
