month of crafts with children

Posted January 23rd, 2008 by kath_red

As part of our month of children’s crafts, crafty beats sent in a link to a matching memory game she made from plastic bottle tops for her kids to play with. This would be a great game for the kids to help make – cutting out or drawing pictures or words to glue into the bottle tops.

    This is a great idea! I worry alot, so I’d probably use wider caps (for fear of choking hazard) for the younger tots, myself.

    I haven’t checked in with this blog in awhile, but I must have been channeling you because I’ve done two crafts in a week, with my daughter. We decoupaged a HUGE pickle spears jar (Sam’s Club size, in fact, the pickle spears were from there!) with some red and white differing widths of stripes, striped tissue paper that caught her fancy around Christmas, when she opened her presents, and I said I’d save it for a future craft project. We then added bits of metallic confetti from the New Year’s poppers that you twist and they shoot out confetti (I asked her to gather up the remaining bits, woops I haven’t vacuumed in a few weeks, lol!), and she was happy to (nice way to hide that chore lol).

    Then, we just finished some toilet paper castings over some of my rubber stamps, and chalked them when dry. I just need to spray a few light coats of fixative to them!

    I’ll be mining this month of Kids’ crafting for s’more ideas, you can be sure! I’ll be blogging these two projects with pics, but I’m not sure how well the castings will show.

    This is an adorable idea–I’m going to add a link to it at the Winter Bazaar this week if that’s okay.

    Not only a great game idea but a wonderful way to recycle bottle lids (which aren’t recycleable).

    I am LOVIN’ this. We have done it with juice lids and stickers, but it’s too loud to take to church! This would be perfect.
