This is me

Today we made name tags for our coat rack. These name tag type crafts can be used for many different things though.

I first drew out a person shape for each of the kids. For the younger ones, I drew the face, the older ones, I let them draw on the face and hair. The kids have been asking to use the glitter glue for awhile, so, I decided to use those for this craft too. We got out the glitter glue, markers, and then we went through the foam letter stickers to find the initial of each child!

Then I let the kids colour, and us the glitter glue on their pictures, as well as stick their letter sticker on.

Then we had to let them dry (for awhile!)

 Then I hung them up at their coat hooks, as name tags for their hooks.

a star filled sky

Today we were playing with glitter glue. So, we decided to make a star filled sky. And there is no better place to watch the stars then on a camping trip.

I cut out shapes that you would see on a camping trip- triangle trees and tent, rectangle tree trunks, circle moon, stars, and I did do tear drops to put together for a fire- but we forgot to use them! Then I got the kids all black paper, glue, and glitter glue (to spread it around more we used a paint brush!)


The kids had a great time gluing their shapes on the paper to make a camp scene. With the younger ones, you can put glue all over the page and let them put the pieces on themselves!


Then have them squirt the glitter glue on (or if you are brave, apply the real glitter). After putting globs of glitter glue on, the kids spread it around with the paint brush!


After everything dries, you are left with a beautiful night sky to star gaze!
