Craft Time!

Here are a few crafts my daughter and I did today!

 Here's how I made them: 

Flowers- I made these three flowers out of an egg carton. I cut them part way down the sides, I used a knife but scissors would work fine as well. I bent each flap a little to open the flower up a little more and then i painted the inside of the flowers. Then I used yellow paint for the Center to finish it off. And there's hoe to make them! I'm going to make more and use them to make a little wreath or bouquet. 

Jar of fireflies- To make this I found an outline of a jar online and printed and cut it out. Them I traced the jar onto a black piece of construction paper. I then used a coloured pencil to color the lid of the jar. My daughter made the fireflies using her finger in yellow paint. When they dried, which didn't take long I drew wings and a little trail behind them.

Bat- The bat is also made out of egg cartons. I cut three egg sections and on the two outside pieces I cut out zig-zag pattern on the bottom to look like bat wings. I painted the whole thing black. When it dried I glued on googly eyes and the top of the carton together so it didn't sit flat and looked more like a bat. Great for Halloween coming up!

Here's on more craft that I did today, it's a jelly fish and super easy to make. 

I took a cup and used a hole puncher to punch holes along the bottom of the cup. Then I cut the strands of yarn. I looped them through the holes but you could knot the yarn as well, either way would work. When that was done I poked a hole in the top for a piece of yarn so I could hang the jelly fish up.  Finally I used a marker to draw a mouth and again I used googly eyes and there's an easy jellyfish craft!
